Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a tool for empowering people to improve their life.
It increases physical capacity, encourages personal development, improves the ability to problem solve and think under stress, and it fosters the spirit of happiness and friendship experienced through healthy personal interaction.
A grappling based skill, that is a strong tool for self-defense, but even more importantly an invaluable tool for life.
I receive my Black Belt from Professor Mike Yanez (Team Pablo Popovitch), but must say my BJJ journey has been impacted by a variety of people from all over the world. We serve many members and guests alike through their time here at Maxwell Air Force Base, and also as members of the BJJ Globetrotters mission.
NXG Combat Sports is a proud member of Tsunami Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and I am blessed to call Professor John Ouano my coach and mentor.
We believe Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, like all martial arts, is a means of self-defense, sport, personal development, and most of all for building community and a better world.
