Four ways onto the mat

Adult no-gi across three levels, kids from age four, a women’s-only room, and Bang Muay Thai striking. Same building, same curriculum-first approach, in Portland’s Central Eastside.

Kids Jiu Jitsu

Lil Legends for the smallest, Kids Jiu Jitsu for school age, Teens for the ones who want to be treated like grapplers. Coordination, confidence and the calm that comes from knowing you can handle yourself.

Women’s Only Jiu Jitsu

Twice a week, women only, same technical curriculum as every other class in the building. A good front door if a mixed room feels like a big first step — and a good permanent home if you just prefer it.

Bang Muay Thai

Duane “Bang” Ludwig’s striking system, four nights a week. All eight weapons, built to integrate with grappling rather than sit beside it. No fight required, ever.

Who trains here

Complete beginners to competitors, ages 4 to 60​+

Former athletes, people who have never played a sport, parents, nurses, line cooks, engineers. You do not need to be in shape to start. The training is what gets you in shape.

Never trained

Start at LV1

Four Foundations classes a week where the whole point is that nobody knows what they are doing yet. Or walk into an LV2 and say so — that works too.

Coming back

Slot into LV2

Trained before, took years off, remember about a third of it. Fourteen classes a week means you can rebuild at whatever pace your body agrees to.

Already sharp

Live in LV3

Fifteen advanced classes, specialty sessions on leg locks and rubberguard, and a Friday open mat the whole city shows up to.
