Real Jiu-Jitsu Training in Sadashiva Nagar
We don't hand out belts. We earn them on the mat through detailed study, live rolling, and consistent grind.
This is our philosophy in action. We focus heavily on wrestling because control is everything in a fight. Whether your opponent shoots or you do, we train to dominate the position and score.
We believe in a detailed, intellectual approach to Jiu-Jitsu. Here is a look at a seminar where we break down the K-guard, showing not just the moves, but the strategy behind them. You can also hear directly from our students about their experience.
Belts are not given here; they are earned through dedication and hard work. This was a surprise promotion from Professor Yuri Simoes, a moment that shows our commitment to authentic progress and recognizing the labor our students put in.
Training in the Gi is a core part of our curriculum. This is a look at our students applying techniques during live rolling, focusing on grips, leverage, and control that are unique to fighting in the kimono.
This is our Saturday morning Gi class. A packed mat with students of all levels, from white to black belt, sharing knowledge and pushing each other. This is what our community looks like.
Our coaching team is built on three pillars: a clear curriculum, detailed instruction, and personal attention. Here, our instructors are leading a beginner's class, ensuring every student understands the fundamentals.
Everyone starts somewhere. This is a glimpse into our beginner's rolling session, where new students can apply what they've learned in a controlled and safe environment. It's about building a solid foundation.
This is our night schedule. We offer a structured timetable with classes for fundamentals, MMA grappling, wall-wrestling, and specific groundwork sessions to fit your training goals after work hours.
About Featured
This is not a space for quick fixes or generic fitness classes. We train in a technical, industrial setting where the focus is on the craft of fighting rather than the aesthetics of the gym. You will learn by doing—live rolling, drilling, and dissecting the game—rather than watching demos from the sidelines. Expect to sweat, get tapped, and earn every stripe you receive.
Our Approach to Jiu-Jitsu
We operate on the belief that Jiu-Jitsu is a deliberate and detailed study. We don't rush the process, and we don't believe in handing out belts to fill slots. Our curriculum follows the Caio Terra Association methodology, which means every move we drill—from K-guard entries to wrestling takedowns—is broken down into mechanics you can actually use in a live fight.
The Training Environment
You won't find AC or fancy lounge areas here. Our space in Sadashiva Nagar is a proper training ground with high ceilings, industrial wall fans, and high-quality jigsaw mats. It is built for work. We offer both Gi and No-Gi training because adaptability is non-negotiable in a real combat situation. If you show up, you roll. We ensure that beginners learn the fundamentals safely while advanced students push the pace during sparring.
Building a Squad
The culture here is defined by the Saturday morning squad. It’s a mix of white belts and seasoned fighters, all working toward the same goal: getting better. Whether you are here for self-defense, competition prep, or just to test your mettle, you are part of a community that values mutual progress over ego. If you are looking for a place to put in the time and energy, you have found it.
Institute of Jiu-Jitsu
We don't do shortcuts here. I started IJJ to build a space for people who want to put in the real work, understand the technique, and test their limits. You will find a tight-knit squad on our mats that pushes you to be better every single session.
