Built on Tradition. Refined Through Experience. Proven on the Mats.

At Mattis Jiu-Jitsu, we are committed to preserving the core principles and traditional mechanics that form the foundation of authentic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Our selected fundamentals are chosen regiments handed down, and crafted, by Rickson Gracie (of the Gracie family), refined by Rogerio (Tatu) Taborda, and Harnessed by Bob Mattis.

Our mission is to develop confident, disciplined individuals both on and off the mats. We believe that training for self-defense and competition creates the most complete understanding of Jiu-Jitsu, helping students develop practical skills, strategic thinking, and mental resilience.

A strong emphasis is placed on purposeful drilling and repetition, ensuring techniques are not only learned but retained and recalled under pressure. Mastery is achieved through consistent practice, attention to detail, and a willingness to embrace mistakes as opportunities for growth. At Mattis Jiu-Jitsu, we believe that true progress begins when we challenge ourselves to improve every day.
