Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Elite Combat Systems is a proud affiliate of Rafael Lovato Jr. Jiu Jitsu.

Elite Combat Systems is the first commercial academy to bring full time Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes to Stillwater and continues to offer the best quality instruction and training.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is a grappling-based martial art whose main concept is controlling an opponent and taking the fight to the ground where the user will employ techniques that force their opponent to submit.

Control over an opponent is generally easier on the ground than in a standing position, which allows a smaller and weaker person to successfully defend themselves against a bigger, stronger, and heavier opponent by using technique, grip, position, and leverage.

Elite Combat Systems proudly offers several variations of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes so that everyone can find a class to fit their needs: whether they are looking to learn self-defense, wanting to compete, or are interested in improving their overall health and fitness. We offer traditional BJJ, BJJ for Beginners, Family BJJ, No-Gi BJJ, and BJJ for Self-Defense.
