"Raiz" means root in Portuguese, the foundation from which everything grows. Our academy is built on the belief that jiu jitsu is more than a martial art. It's a practice of patience, resilience, and continuous growth.
Whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned competitor, our structured curriculum and world class instruction will challenge you to become your best on and off the mat.
Structured paths for every level of practitioner, from your first day on the mat to competition preparation.

Discipline, confidence, and coordination for ages 6-15. Three levels of competitiveness to match your child's growth and goals.
Fast paced submission wrestling without the gi. Wrestling integration, leg locks, and modern grappling techniques.
Unstructured training time. Roll with training partners, drill techniques, and develop your personal game at your pace.

To celebrate the start of the school year, we’re offering our Back to School Special!
Enroll in a month to month youth membership during the month of August and receive a FREE official Raiz Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Gi ($150 value).
The school year is almost here, and there has never been a better time to give your child a skill they’ll carry for life.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu isn’t just about learning self defense. It’s about building confidence, discipline, respect, resilience, and something many kids struggle with today, emotional regulation.
Every class teaches children how to stay calm under pressure, solve problems, work through challenges, and develop confidence that carries into school, sports, and everyday life.
At Raiz, your child will be taught by Head Instructor Mateus, who has dedicated his life to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. With a lifetime on the mats and a passion for teaching, he’s committed to helping every child grow, not just as an athlete, but as a confident, respectful young person.
No experience is necessary. No contracts. Just a welcoming environment where beginners are encouraged from day one.
Only the first 20 new students will receive this offer. Once the 20 gis are gone, the promotion is over.
