Isla Jiu Jitsu Our Philosophy

Our Philosophy

Isla Jiu Jitsu is known for a high standard culture of excellence. Achieved through humility, maturity, and longevity.

We teach Jiu Jitsu by looking at the big picture. While championships and gold medals are great right now. We want our students to be virtuous people for a lifetime. Receiving these lessons from us and their peers is what keeps our students coming back and becoming better individuals. Students have even returned to be instructors and carry on the lessons we’ve taught them.

Isla Jiu Jitsu Our History

Our History

Jeff works hard to nurture an environment that welcomes everyone to proudly be a better version of themselves.

Knowing that he makes a difference through bettering his students is what drives him to teach. Established since 2009 as a different affiliation/name, we just recently changed to be known as Isla. Isla Jiu Jitsu has grown immensely since it was first opened but Jeff continues to remain humble. He dedicates the school’s success to the hard work of his students and stays focused on the meaning of Isla Jiu Jitsu. It truly isn’t about the numbers or being a number, you are welcome into a family and a better life here.
