GROUND UNITS BJJ academy is a welcoming Brazilian Jiu Jitsu academy in Westfield, MA and serving all surrounding communities.
We strive to maintain a safe and positive atmosphere where all team members, no matter what their age, gender, or physical capabilities may be, can increase not only their ability to defend themselves, but will also develop their mental focus, motor skills, levels of confidence, discipline, and overall fitness (body, mind and spirit). Our training is focused on the ground aspect of personal safety. As many fights or attacks ultimately go to the ground. Here, we are at home…
Through BJJ theory, philosophy, technical drills and practical application, we will help you to efficiently and effectively defend yourself against bigger, stronger aggressors.
“If size mattered, the elephant would be king of the jungle.” – Rickson Gracie (son of Helio Gracie – founder of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu)
Not everyone that trains BJJ is concerned about being attacked. BJJ is also trained for the fitness aspect of it. It is also trained for the mental and physical satisfaction that it brings to its practitioners.
We offer a great team atmosphere where we challenge, help and encourage each other to achieve whatever it is that brought you in to train – Fun, Personal Safety, Competition, Sport or Fitness. BJJ is truly a fun and exciting way to entertain and challenge the mind while strengthening and pushing the body to new levels of fitness.
Come in and visit us to begin Your Journey to a better YOU. You’ll love it.
