Van Isle Jiu Jitsu Academy

This is what community looks like. Different backgrounds, different goals, same mats. Whether you're here for fitness, self-defense, or the challenge, you'll build great friendships and find your people at Van Isle BJJ.

Iron sharpens iron. Live training is where technique meets timing — controlled, respectful, and always pushing each other to get better.

Start this summer. No experience needed — just show up. Beginner-friendly classes, gi and no-gi, all ages and levels welcome. Book your 2 free classes and see what it's all about.

No gi, no problem. Grips, scrambles, and a fast, athletic pace — no-gi is where a lot of people fall in love with the sport. All levels welcome.

Confidence starts on the mats. Our kids program builds focus, discipline, and resilience in a safe, supportive environment — and they have a blast doing it. Parents, message us to get your child started.

Strong training partners make strong jiu-jitsu. Our mats are home to women of every level, from day-one beginners to seasoned competitors. If you've been curious about starting, this is your sign — message us to try a class.

Big lessons, little grapplers. On our kids mats they're learning to solve problems, stay calm under pressure, and back themselves — skills that carry far beyond jiu-jitsu. Parents, message us to book a free trial.

After more than a decade since stepping on the mats, Mike earned his brown belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu! Its been amazing to witness his progress and journey and it's a privilege to be able to recognize him for this achievement. Mike started with us when we were a small crew of less than 20, and as we've seen his growth, he's also seen ours. Congratulations Mike!

Summer no-gi is in full swing — fast pace, slick transitions, and a whole lot of fun. Whether you train gi, no-gi, or both, there's a place for you on our mats this summer.

Great training starts with great people. The coaching and the community are what keep people coming back to Van Isle — supportive, detail-focused, and genuinely invested in your progress. Come see it for yourself.
