TNT Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Phoenix stands out because we focus on No-Gi BJJ, making our training perfect for real life situations. Here’s what makes us different:
1. We focus on No-Gi: This means our training is perfect for actual fighting situations, not just sport competitions. You learn how to defend yourself without relying on special outfits (Kimono).
2. Learn to strike and defend: Right from the start, we teach you how to hit and not get hit. This is essential for real-life defense.
3. From striking to grappling: We show you how to move smoothly from hitting to holding, which is super useful in a fight.
4. Effective takedowns: Our moves work in real life, not just on the mat. We teach takedowns and throws that you can use, even without a Gi.
5. Always getting better: We constantly update our techniques to be more effective and efficient.
6. Earn your belt: Belts here are earned through skill and knowledge, not just by showing up.
Wondering if training in a traditional outfit makes sense for self-defense today? Not really. Not many people walking around in an outfit from Feudal Japan in 2024. We believe in practical skills over tradition. BJJ has evolved from Japan to Brazil and now in the U.S., and we’re all about making it even better for today’s world.
“I’ve worked very hard to create an environment of respect, integrity, support and camaraderie regardless of background or experience level. These aspects along with the amazing coaches is what has come to separate TNT MMA from all the others.”
