Why Train at Greenville Academy Mixed Martial Arts?

Our style enables a smaller person to defeat a much larger attacker. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is particularly beneficial for women who may be taken to the ground during assaults. We recommend this style for men, women, and children seeking an effective workout and realistic self-defense skills.

If you can’t defend yourself on the ground, you don’t truly know self-defense. Approximately 95% of all self-defense situations end up on the ground or in grappling range. Grappling is often the most overlooked aspect of self-defense in many martial arts systems.

What We Do

We teach the proven techniques of the Gracie family. We believe in learning to walk before you can run. We understand the importance of the basic techniques, and that everyone must have a firm, solid base before advancement is possible. Therefore, we offer four nights of basic and intermediate training in the learning, memorization and application of these techniques, and one day of advanced techniques. We will guide you in your knowledge of these techniques, and we will also assist you in muscle memory. We do this by offering a drilling class once a week. Here, our basic instructors will select 3-5 techniques and drill them weekly.
