25 years and still hitting the mats with the passion and love that I started with at age 5! 

BIO

Here at Grand Rapids Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy  we have a total of 7 blackbelts, AND 4 are active instructors. What you see is what you get. At GRBJJ we pride ourselves in having you instructed by the BEST.

**** We DO NOT "SHIP" in instructors from other schools, or out of state. WHY? We DON'T need to.

Professor Crabtree is a 3rd Degree Blackbelt and still loves teaching the kids class.

We have a  large 3,000 sq foot facility with professional Zebra mats. We have 2 showers, and lockers for your equipment. We use professional grade cleaner, and clean between classes. We have plenty of room to sit and watch your BJJ students learn the "gentle art" of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Over 25 years ago GRBJJ was started on the premise of "Nothing Given, Only Earned" At Grand Rapids Brazilian Jiu Jitsu YOU will train hard, but under a constant watching eye pushing you to become 1% better each time you are on the mat. Nothing will be given to you, much will be expected, and you will know you've earned every promotion. We expect our students to become better in each aspect of life...on and off the mat.

At GRBJJ everyone is welcomed regardless of ability, experience, or age.  We offer 4 beginner classes every week. If you are a beginner, sign up for a free beginner class. We also have beginner packages as well here at Grand Rapids Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy
