Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & No-Gi Grappling
Build Skill & Confidence
Whether your goal is to learn practical self-defense, build confidence, improve your fitness, compete, or simply challenge yourself, Charlie’s Combat Club offers a welcoming environment where students of all experience levels can thrive.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art centered on leverage, technique, and control rather than strength alone. Students learn how to safely take an opponent to the ground, establish dominant positions, escape disadvantageous situations, and apply submissions such as joint locks and chokeholds.
Our Gi program teaches traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu using the kimono (gi), where grips on your opponent’s uniform become an important part of the strategy. Charlie’s Combat Club is proud to be affiliated with Checkmat, giving dedicated students the opportunity to progress through the internationally recognized BJJ belt system.
No-Gi Submission Grappling
No-Gi Grappling (also known as Submission Wrestling) uses many of the same principles as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu without the traditional uniform. Because clothing grips are removed, the pace is faster and students develop excellent wrestling, scrambling, and submission skills that translate well to self-defense, mixed martial arts, and competitive grappling.
Rather than relying on strikes, our grappling programs teach students how to control an opponent through positioning, timing, leverage, and an understanding of body mechanics.
