bjj - brazilian jiu-jitsu

"Jiu-Jitsu is the only art that allows you to win a fight without hurting your opponent. 
I use striking techniques to open the way for submissions.
 My objective is not to knockout anyone, I don't want to hurt my opponents.
 I only want to make them tap so that they can go home and train again."

This is the place, look no further. Two Black Belt Brazilian Professors, who are truly passionate about Jiu-Jitsu. They motivate you to be successful, teach you to work hard, set up the goals and at the same time to be PATIENT. They have built great team since last July. I was one of the first students to join the First BJJ Team. Love it!!! Discipline and traditional approach provides powerful blend, secret to success. No big secret, but hard dedicated work. Great school for adults and kids, lots of families join together.

I recently had the amazing opportunity to attend a 4 day BJJ camp with Professor Carlos Santos. The instruction I received was exceptional. Professor Carlos broke down the movements and explained them in a way that was easy to understand. The classes were fun, yet structured and very thorough, which made for an optimal learning environment. The end resulting in clarity and retention of technique. I highly recommend First BJJ if you want to grow and improve your game. Be First!

Incredible gym!!!!! The level of instruction is superb (as expected from two world champions) and I consider myself incredibly lucky to be able to roll with them every single lesson! My technique is improving so quickly and I keep surprising myself both in competition and when rolling with students from other schools.They have a really nice kids BJJ program and it's awesome to see both instructors' kids also training in the same gym! I absolutely recommend First BJJ. If you want to improve your game 10-fold, it's the place to train.

na última semana-
Great Professors! Carlos Santos and Suyan Queiroz are the real deal. World class champions from Brazil with so much patience. Teaching all ages the lifestyle of Brazilian Jiu Jitzu. Self defense and self control. Men, woman and children of all ages, this is the very best class you can ask for! If you're looking for World Class Gracie BJJ lineage.... this is the place!!!

Professors Carlos Santos & Suyan Querioz are the real deal. Their records and long list of accomplishments within the sport speak for themselves. My daughter's take the kids' Brazilian jiu jitsu program and thir skill set has grown so much. The instructors are great with the kids, too - they are very good at balancing drills with fun to keep the younger set interested. When you come here, you are treated like family. I love this BJJ school!

na última semana-
If you want to train Jiu-Jitsu this should be the place. I have been training with the First BJJ team for a few months and I love it. These guys are like family and treat everyone with respect. I actually enrolled my daughter because I thought she could use some of the skills. Not only self defense but being a good person as well.

na última semana-
Best Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instruction in the state. Professor Carlos and professor Suyan are both world champion Brazilians that are teaching Carlos Gracie lineage BJJ right here in Utah. Be First!
