Gi and no-gi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for beginners through competitors, taught by head coach Rob Barbiero. No egos on the mat — just people getting better, one round at a time.
Ground Up Jiu Jitsu is Elland's home for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu — a place to learn real technique, get in shape, and become part of a team that shows up for each other. Whether you're stepping on the mat for the first time or you're chasing competition podiums, the approach is the same: strong fundamentals, honest coaching, and a room that pushes you without ego.
Training is built around live rolling and position-specific drilling, so what you learn in class actually holds up when it counts.
A 2nd degree black belt, Rob leads every fundamentals and advanced session at Ground Up, with a coaching style built on clear, methodical instruction and plenty of mat time. Focused on giving beginners a genuinely welcoming first class and giving experienced grapplers a reason to keep sharpening their game.
