What we are about…

The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new
— Socrates

The school underwent a few changes to finally become a Renzo Gracie affiliate, finding a community and mission that matched our core values. Our academy is open to everyone, from beginners to experienced practitioners. Whether you’re looking to get in shape, learn self-defense, or become a BJJ competitor, we’re here to help you achieve your goals.

Our mission is simple: to empower people through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. We focus on:

  • Building Confidence: BJJ teaches you to overcome challenges and trust in yourself.

  • Respect and Discipline: We foster a culture of mutual respect and strong values.

  • Health and Fitness: BJJ is a great workout that also boosts mental and emotional well-being.

  • Community: We strive to build lasting relationships where everyone supports each other.

At Renzo Gracie Lynden, we aim to make a difference in the community by:

  1. Helping Youth Grow: Our kids’ classes teach valuable life skills like focus, respect, and leadership.

  2. Supporting Mental Health: BJJ helps reduce stress and boosts confidence, creating a positive mindset.

  3. Creating an Inclusive Environment: Everyone is welcome here, no matter your background or experience.

  4. Being Role Models: Our instructors lead by example, showing dedication, respect, and hard work.
