Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at Syndicate MMA

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a technical grappling art built on leverage, control, and submission. It allows individuals of all sizes to neutralize larger, stronger opponents with precision and strategy. At Syndicate MMA, our program is led by BJJ black belts Jerry and Shane Shapiro, two highly accomplished instructors with decades of experience in both competition and coaching.

Whether your goal is to improve your self-defense, get in shape, or develop high-level grappling skill, our structured program gives you the tools to advance with confidence.
