Get in Shape and Have a Great Time Doing It!

The key to staying committed to any fitness program is to find something you enjoy doing.  Learning Jiu Jitsu will change not only your body physically, but also mentality. 

It raises self-confidence, improves discipline/respect, will help you conquer fears, anxiety and become more resistant to stress. Jiu Jitsu builds strength, flexibility, endurance, and coordination...but, most importantly, it is fun! 

Adults find community and friendship in high energy classes. Students stay motivated by engaging in the variety of disciplines that make up Jiu Jitsu unique.

Some adults look at the challenging movements of Jiu Jitsu and think, "I can't do that!"  We disagree. We have seen adult students of all ages and fitness levels begin training Jiu Jitsu and develop strengths and abilities they never expected.  You'll be amazed what you can do.

We at Checkmat Portland want to ensure our students build a strong foundation in  a safe environment with highly qualified instructors. 

We can't wait to meet you and help you get started on your journey!
