CONVENIENT SCHEDULE
Thornwood MMA provides a great schedule of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
classes starting as early as 6:00am in morning, being taught throughout
the day and ending late at night. This gives our BJJ or Grcie jiu-jitsu
students plenty of options and keeps our class sizes down to make sure
everyone gets personal attention.

Once known only for its great instruction and incredible atmosphere,
Thornwood MMA now boasts the county's top competition team. Thornwood
BJJ fighters are always on top of some of the world's biggest
tournaments and it all starts with what we do on the BJJ mat's every
day.
STRUCTURED CURRICULUM
Our structured curriculum helps Thornwood students take their
training to the next level! Our BJJ curriculum focuses on structured
fundamentals a week at a time. This helps students integrate BJJ moves
into live sparring instead of just learning the move in theory.
CLASSES FOR ADVANCED STUDENTS
Most academies only have classes for beginner students with only a
few advanced classes. At Thornwood MMA, we have advanced Brazilian
Jiu-Jitsu classes every day. We always have many colored belts on the
mat that will help you go from white to black belt in the shortest time
possible.
