At Citadel Martial Arts, our main priority is our students safety and constant progression towards excellence. There are two forms to the art, Brazilian Jiujutsu (Gi) and Submission Grappling (No GI). Classes are run through several modalities and all levels are welcome. Class format is most often done through 4 stages.
Our coaches are all high level (3 black and a brown belt) under a high ranking black belt ranked under Mario Sperry. We are proud of them for their hard work earning their ranks and they look forward to helping others discover their love for BJJ.
Brazilian jiujutsu is a combat sport that focuses on ground fighting and self defense. It is a sport that was built on the principles and philosophy of Hélio and Carlos Gracie. Brazilian Jiujutsu gained the popularity and respect of the martial arts community when Royce Gracie defeated a variety of formidable opponents at UFC 1, a historic event that changed martial arts forever.
For gi classes, the use of the gi is recommended but students that do not own a gi may initially attend without.
For no gi classes, compression shirt or tight fitting shirt, and board shorts or compression pants recommended.
