Melt Stress. Relieve Pain.

An amazing side-effect of our Portland adult Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes is stress & pain relief. The full-body workouts erase stress from your body. 

The core-building Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu techniques help your body function as it was meant to – meaning less strain on your back, neck, shoulders, and knees. Stretching and muscle-building improve your range of motion. Improving oxygen flow is known to reduce Cortisol levels, or the stress hormone, in the body. 

Plus, after such awesome workouts, you’ll sleep better too.
