Stoic Jiu Jitsu Academy offers a uniquely holistic approach to Martial Arts, facilitating personal growth through the practice of facing challenges in a supportive atmosphere. Our curriculum is informed by two decades on and off the mats--in both striking and grappling arts and working in all levels of private sector security.

In addition to a truly experiential approach to training our bodies and minds in the gentle art of self defense, we at Stoic Jiu Jitsu are avid readers and lifelong learners. We share with our students deep knowledge spanning many disciplines, including psychology, history, theology, kinesiology and nutrition. As committed practitioners of the open-hand Martial Way, we have created Stoic Jiu Jitsu to reflect our approach to training as a way to facilitate our students in leading healthy, fulfilling and purposeful lives. Stoic Jiu Jitsu is a community wherein we learn from each other in order to collectively pursue a deeper understanding of ourselves, and we believe that showing up authentically to face our personal challenges empowers those around us to do the same.
