Pipeworks Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

I came for the rock climbing and stayed for the jiu-​jitsu. Because like Bruce Lee famously once said: rock walls don’t hit back. Wait… or was that boards? Anyway, this is a great place to learn the highly effective and extremely devastating south American martial art of Brazilian Jiu-​jitsu. After just 3 weeks of training here I had to register my hands as concealed weapons or else every time I stuck my hands in my pockets I was breaking the law. Yeah, it’s that serious…
But seriously, it’s a great place to learn how to grapple. Very family friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Stepping on to the mats for the first time can be kind of intimidating, but everyone who trains here is super friendly and approachable. And the type of people who train here runs the gamut from teenaged kids to local rock climbers to state workers just looking to get in better shape. So if you have ever even entertained the thought of training jiu-​jitsu, I can 100% recommend this place as a solid and fun place to learn.

Training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with Brad Sandoval has been a great addition to my fitness regimen. Brad is a very technical black belt and puts on very informative and fun classes. Also, being a member of Pipeworks gives you access to a ton of other fitness outlets like rock climbing, yoga, weight training and cross fit.
