The Lair Jiu Jitsu
The Lair Jiu Jitsu is a gym welcome to everyone and anyone who wants to be involved with Jiu Jitsu. Families wanting to do something active together. Men, women and kids who are looking for something recreational that will fulfill multiple areas of their life. Athletes looking to compete at the highest level in the sport. The Lair is a home for anyone wanting anything to do with Jiu Jitsu.
A Lair is a place for heroes to go back to, hideout and train while they aren’t out saving cities. For us, The Lair is a place where we practice our craft and hone our skills for the biggest and most important things in life that we do outside of The Lair. Whether that is running a business, being the best you can for your family, going to school, etc. A love for 80s and 90s nostalgia runs through the veins of The Lair. You can look forward to an environment that will teach you to have fun discovering new limits for yourself.
We can’t wait to have you in class!

Not at all. There are many people who train jiu jitsu well into their 70s and 80s. There are even some who still train in their 90s. Our fundamentals program is a great place for everyone to start. You will learn the basic movements of Jiu Jitsu and perform exercises that will help your body move correctly for the sport. Anything that you are uncomfortable doing will be tailored to you so that you are always receiving some sort of benefit!

100% it is! It is our belief that Jiu Jitsu is the most beneficial form of self defense for women to learn. Jiu Jitsu can be an intimidating environment for anyone to walk into, especially women. It is our focus to provide an environment that is comfortable for everyone to walk into, whether it be their first class or their 100th class. At The Lair Jiu Jitsu you can look forward to being welcomed with open arms by our instructors and our students alike.

Nope! However, if there are students in class with poor hygiene it could affect others in class. For that reason, our mats are cleaned twice a day and instructors perform visual inspections on all students prior to class and during class. Just like with any physical activity, it is important to shower as soon after class as you can and to wash your hands before entering the mat and after leaving the mat.

Quite the contrary. Jiu Jitsu practitioners are some of the nicest people you will ever meet in your life. Jiu Jitsu is a great practice in growth and humility that keeps those who practice it in a lasting state of contentment. We’ve seen countless students over the years come in with lots of anger and very quickly become more mild mannered and polite. We believe Jiu Jitsu is one of the best practices for a healthy mental state!

It’s hard to narrow this down to a short statement because the benefits of Jiu Jitsu are endless. One of the top benefits that we see students gain from Jiu Jitsu is learning to stay calm in uncomfortable or non ideal situations. No matter how long you train for, there will always be someone who can put you into an uncomfortable position. The more experience you have, the calmer you will be and in turn, the more successful you will be at persevering through the uncomfortable situation. We love this one because it translates largely into all aspects of life.
