Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a system of combat that focuses on takedowns, controlling your opponent on the ground, and ending the match with a submission. We define ‘submission’ as any technique that helps immobilize your opponent, while having the potential to cause bodily damage or unconsciousness. These include chokes, arm locks, leg locks, foot locks, and more. We prioritize safety during training, and students are trained to ‘tap’ when caught in submissions, long before any harm is done.

At Watermark, we have a variety of students with different goals and interests. Some students train casually one or two days per week, while others are laser-focused competitors who drill and spar as often as their schedule allows. Our instructors are active competitors, constantly training alongside our students, and are on the cutting-edge of modern Brazilian Jiu Jitsu technique.

Our environment is casual, but focused. There are no major formalities. We have done our best to preserve what is useful about traditional martial arts training, while keeping our school modern and ego-free.
