RMNU South Tampa Jiu-Jitsu & MMA

RMNU South Tampa represents Tampa's premiere Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) team!!!

We encourage a relaxed and friendly training environment with the goal of improving your self defense skills, physical conditioning, weight loss, and nutrition. A healthy lifestyle of physical activity including Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), physical conditioning, outdoor activities, and proper nutrition are what make up the BJJ Lifestyle.

In addition to promoting a healthy lifestyle, BJJ does what other martial arts claim to do: provide a path for a smaller, weaker person to defeat a larger, stronger opponent through leverage and timing!

We use an elaborate sequence of movements to systematically break down our opponent’s defenses until we catch them in a submission forcing them to tap out (say uncle)!!! Here is the BJJ formula to success: Maximum Effectiveness = Minimum Effort. It’s truly Human Chess!!!

BJJ is not just a great self-defense and fitness system for men and women, its great for children as well. We teach children to use their "words" to avoid a physical altercation while giving them the confidence to defend themselves if necessary.

Jiu-Jitsu is for EVERYBODY!!!
