A Jiu Jitsu Association
Our team was founded in 2012 in New York City by two friends who were teaching Brazilian Jiu Jitsu out of a small gym. They found that as their student base grew there was a need to create a school and team under which their students would be able to compete, fight, improve, and grow. The approach that the founders had to training and practice was expressed in their choice of the name Workshop Jiu Jitsu.
Will Durant’s quote regarding the natural progression of science into an art highly exemplifies what we strive to achieve in our practice here at Workshop Jiu Jitsu. We are a school where skills will be taught, learned, practiced, and polished. Our vision is that of constant progress towards the ideal artistic expression of oneself, through daily practice of the technique and principles of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
