    Hear From our Schools soon to be Massage Therapist Tamara

    Walking into Cortes Bjj as a complete beginner in any type of martial art was awesome. Initially, i had no idea what to expect and yeah I was fearful of a new and unfamiliar situation. As soon as i entered the venue, all of that uncertainty became excitement for what was to come. Professor Nic immediately made me feel welcome by greeting me and introducing me to the routines, the athletes, and the overall dynamic of the dojo. I felt invigorated just watching all of the passion everyone has for the sport and the spirit of gratitude for training.. unlike anything ive seen previously and inspiring so of course I enrolled at cortes bjj and what a blessing it is that i did because ....

    Riches weight loss journey through Jiu Jitsu

    Since starting my fitness journey, I have learned the value of one’s own health and wellness. During the past year, I have lost 35lbs and maintained it. Losing weight and improving my cardiovascular fitness has helped me in all aspects of my life. I work in a bakery where I am on my feet all day moving around. I could get through the day but would have no energy when I got out of work. I then had to study and do schoolwork when I got home which was very difficult, not only was my body very tired but I had no energy to be able to think clearly. If I didn’t have schoolwork, then I would stay home and not do anything. I didn’t want to go out with friends, be with family, or ....

    One of our fathers here and one of our purple belts shares his journey so far !!

    've been training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu now for the last 5 1/2 years with Cortes BJJ. My experience has truly been a journey of growth, discipline, and self-improvement. I can't imagine my life without it anymore. It all began when searching for a school to sign my son up, he was 5 at the time and I knew it was jiu-jitsu that would be the most beneficial life skill for him to possess. That's when I found Nic and Cortes BJJ. What set Nic apart and why I chose him and his school is his dedication to the sport and to his students. Not long after signing my son up and seeing first-hand the benefits he was gaining, I signed myself up and haven't looked back. Nic is not only very skilled but also ....

    One of our other fathers here and one of our blue belts

    I started my jiu-jitsu journey with Cortes BJJ in January 2020. I had grown up as an athlete and was always used to pushing my body. However, I had not been very active since playing lacrosse in college 6 years prior and had gotten very out of shape. I needed a change. I wanted a chance to push myself again and needed a way to do that. I was always interested in watching BJJ and MMA and figured that I could mix my interests with my aspirations. I signed up for Cortes BJJ, and from that point on I was hooked. Professor Nic does a great job of making the sport accessible to everyone. He has a unique way of breaking down techniques and mechanics. He keeps us on our toes, and at the ....

Had a great yoga class followed by a much needed women’s self defense class! What more could a woman want?

Cortes BJJ Facebook five star review - Dereck Violante

Dereck Violante

Cortes BJJ is a wholesome environment for not only martial arts & Jiu-Jitsu but also nutrition and life in general. Professor Nic becomes a trusted friend & mentor quickly, paying careful attention to newer members to ensure safe practice at all times and takes his time to make sure everyone learns at their own pace. His positivity becomes contagious. You get out of BJJ what you put in to it. When you attend Cortes BJJ you quickly become a part of the family, not just another member, and that’s the strongest part of this studio/gym/dojo. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to become mentally, emotionally & physically sharper or for a quality Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym.
