Our Classes:

Santa Maria Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu offers a range of classes for everyone; from the beginner to the advanced martial artist.

BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU

It's in our name for a reason: We love it! Brazilian jiu-jitsu is a martial art and combat sport system that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting.

JUDO

Strength is only one half of the equation- developing character is the other. Judo is a sport of unarmed combat derived from jujitsu, which focuses on throws and grappling techniques.

KIDS BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU

Our Children’s Program teaches invaluable life skills such as self discipline, self confidence, self control, and self defense. We challenge you to find any individual who has studied martial arts and regret it.

"Santa Maria Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is the culmination of my life experiences.

It's my hope to not just train the body- but the mind for whatever life throws your way."

- Christopher Ruiz, Owner
