WE ARE GENESIS BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU

Our Philosophy and Community

Founded in 2022, Genesis Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is built on the belief that Jiu-Jitsu is a lifelong practice of growth, not just a sport. Rooted in tradition and guided by modern training principles, we emphasize self-defence, personal development, and sustainable progress over outward display or short-term results.

Our experienced and continually educated coaches are dedicated to creating a supportive environment where students develop confidence, discipline, resilience, and both mental and physical strength. With programs for kids, teens, and adults offered Monday through Friday, Genesis BJJ is more than a training facility—it is a community where individuals are encouraged to grow on and off the mats.

Proud affiliate of Kore BJJ Associations Connecticut

Our academy is affiliated with the Kore BJJ Association in Connecticut. This affiliation provides structured guidance, technical standards, and ongoing mentorship, ensuring our instruction reflects a consistent and respected Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu lineage.
