Check out the benefits
Self-Defense
The primary purpose of BJJ is self-defense. It offers practical, real-world defense techniques that can be used in a variety of situations.
Physical Fitness
BJJ is a full-body workout that can greatly improve cardiovascular endurance, strength, flexibility, weight management, and overall physical fitness.
Mental Toughness
Training BJJ can be challenging, but overcoming those challenges can greatly improve your mental toughness and resilience. It also teaches discipline, focus, and problem-solving skills.
Self-Confidence
Successfully executing techniques and improving your skills over time can greatly boost your self-confidence and self-esteem. This confidence, coupled with the intense focus required during practice, acts as an effective stress reliever.
Community
Classes often offer a great opportunity to connect with new people and form lasting friendships. When you train together, you create a sense of camaraderie among the participants, which fosters a strong sense of community.
Life Skills
Many of the skills learned in BJJ can be applied to other areas of life. These include discipline, focus, patience, problem-solving, and handling uncomfortable situations. These are especially beneficial skills for kids to learn at an early age.

What Our Members Say...

Attended a women's self-defense class at Hendo BJJ and I couldn't be more thrilled! The class was both empowering and exhilarating. The instructors were incredibly skilled and made complex techniques easy to grasp, all while keeping the atmosphere upbeat and supportive. I left feeling more confident, strong, and ready to take on anything. If you're looking for a way to boost your self-defense skills while having a blast, this class is definitely for you! Highly recommend it!

Professor Larry is not only a kindhearted and virtuous man, but an incredibly educated, respectful, and articulate instructor. He's the kind of person who will sacrifice an entire weekend of his time in order to help support a cause he believes in, all while asking for nothing in return.
His vast wealth of knowledge and expertise are constantly on display, both on the mats and in daily life. Larry captures the essence of BJJ as both a martial art and a lifestyle - noting the importance that proper discipline, timing, and patience will play in other aspects or areas of our lives.
