Training:

Goals:

   Our number one goal is to have fun!  Training is a hobby for most people and we know that.  Therefore, not everyone who trains at Advanced BKJ is there to compete.

   We have many members who are there to learn, stay in shape, meet new people, and just have fun.  Each person brings something new into the gym and we look forward to meeting and working with everyone that we can!

Opportunity:

   As a member of Advanced BKJ, you are a member of a very large group that is expanding across the state.  Each member has the opportunity to learn and advance as much as they possibly can.  Our mission is to help you achieve your personal goals!

   Royce is the only three time tournament champion in the Ultimate Fighting Championship and his family is responsible for creating Gracie Jiu Jitsu, which many people consider to be the most dominant style of martial arts to come about in the last 80 years. Click here for Royce's Bio

   Members also have the chance to be ranked in Judo under Aaron Chapman.  Aaron comes from a very strong Judo background with an impressive lineage.

Here is some some additional information on Aaron's lineage and his instructor:
