A world-class BJJ curriculum, designed by a 6th Degree Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt.
Train under a 6th Degree Black Belt with a direct lineage to the origins of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Whether you're brand new or returning to the mats after an extended break, our academy offers an inclusive, structured path to mastery.
Beginner-friendly. Advanced-ready. World-class instruction.
BJJ isn't just a martial art—it's a powerful tool for personal development. Unlike striking-based systems, BJJ focuses on technique, leverage, and control, making it one of the safest and most effective martial arts.
You will learn how to stay calm under pressure, how to defend and control using technique—not strength, how to train safely with a team that supports your progress, and how to build lasting confidence and physical capability.
Our program was designed by Professor Pittman, a 6th Degree Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt with over three decades of training & teaching experience. Every class you attend is progress-driven, safe for all body types and fitness levels, and focused on real-world application.

Pittman's academy is a locally owned, professionally run, clean, family environment with the highest ranking American black belt (under Carlos Machado) as the owner and proprietor.
The staff is attentive and courteous, and the academy is a very goal oriented atmosphere where there are both child and adult classes available. I'm a local professional and family man -not a professional fighter, "hardcore" trainee, or other tough guy type.
I've always felt welcomed by staff and fellow students. Finally, the owner and proprietor, Professor Pittman, cares deeply for the progress and welfare of his students in and outside the academy.
He is dedicated to training both competent martial artists and successful members/ leaders in our community. Come give it a try.

I am very impressed with Professor Pittman’s dedication to his students and the overall experience with the academy.
I’ve trained and visited numerous gyms over 3 years and have never seen a gym that emphasized core values, becoming a leader, and applying those lessons learned outside the gym. The attitude of the students is all about sharing and continuous improvement.
The staff are very welcoming and the number of black belts assisting classes speaks to the value they have gained through this academy. This is a serious place to train for serious people.
