Pure Brazilian Jiu Jitsu — Attraction in Jefferson Township

Our whole family trains at Pure Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by how clean and welcoming the facility is. The instructors are not only incredibly knowledgeable but also have a passion for teaching that is evident in every class. They are world-renowned black belts, which speaks to the high level of instruction you’ll find here.

My wife and I attend the adult classes, and I also take part in the strength and conditioning program, which has been a game-changer for my overall fitness. The program is well-structured and complements Jiu Jitsu training perfectly.

What truly sets Pure apart is their kids program. It’s hands down the best in the area. Our son and daughter both train here, and it’s amazing to see how much they’ve grown in confidence, discipline, and skill. Knowing that black belts are teaching them gives us peace of mind that they’re learning the best techniques in a safe and fun environment.

The sense of community at Pure is incredible. Everyone — from the instructors to the students — and other parents treats each other with respect and support. We’ve found more than just a gym here; we’ve found a second family.

If you’re looking for a top-notch Jiu Jitsu academy for yourself or your kids, I can’t recommend Pure Brazilian Jiu...

Pure BJJ has a cool vibe. I visited from out of town for a week and had the pleasure of training in the gi classes. The instructors, Catherine and Nick, are very welcoming and attentive to their students. They give verbal during the rolls. I found all their students – white, blue, and purple – to be intelligent and courteous partners. On the nights I was there, it was 15% instruction, 40% drilling, and 45% open rolling. I thought that was a great distribution. The school is home to both hobbyists and competitors. I also greatly admired that there were almost equal numbers of women and girls in the class compared to the men. It seems to be an environment in which women can flourish. Lastly, I was impressed with the willingness of the instructors to teach leg locks to their white belts with proper instruction and safety. I look forward to returning to Pure BJJ...

Pure Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is absolutely outstanding! Professors Catherine and Nicholas are world-class trainers who bring incredible knowledge, passion, and care to every class. The gym itself is amazing—brand new, super clean, and well-equipped. What really sets this place apart is the community. The students and parents truly feel like a family, creating such a welcoming and positive environment.

While they provide top-notch instruction for adults, they are especially incredible and stand out with the children. Their patience, dedication, and ability to teach and inspire kids are unmatched.

A special shoutout to Efrain at the front desk—he is one of the most attentive people I’ve ever encountered. Extremely knowledgeable, accommodating, and always willing to go the extra...
