Grip Game Jiu Jitsu

Our Story

At Grip Game Jiu Jitsu, we are proud to have a rich history that dates back to 2001 when our founder, Coach J.J. "Choctaw" Thompson, started training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. However, life took a turn when his mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, and he put his training on hold to take care of his mother. After his mother's successful treatment, Coach Thompson returned to Jiu-Jitsu, and in 2006, he started teaching in his garage, which eventually grew into the 8,000 square foot facility we have today. What sets us apart is our commitment to authenticity, respect, and excellence. We believe that true self-defense is not just about techniques, but about developing the mental and physical toughness to overcome any challenge.

What is Jiu-Jitsu?

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a grappling-based martial art that focuses on taking an opponent down to the ground and wrestling for dominant control positions. Our style of training is centered around the art of Jiu-Jitsu, which has gained immense popularity globally. We believe that Jiu-Jitsu is the ultimate martial art for self-defense, as it leverages leverage and technique to overcome larger and stronger opponents.
