ABOUT US
Ursidae Jiu-jitsu is the premier jiu-jitsu or BJJ gym in or near Stanwood and Camano Island, WA, with Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and MMA classes for kids and adults, owned and operated by Jonny and Christie Blaylock.
BJJ, also sometimes simply called “jiu-jitsu,” is a grappling martial art similar to Judo and wrestling. There are no punches or kicks, but there are submissions like arm-bars, shoulder locks, and various “chokes.” MMA, or Mixed Martial Arts, uses jiu-jitsu, wrestling, and kickboxing.
Brazilian Jiu-jitsu
Jiu-jitsu is a grappling martial art that uses strategic grips (different ways to grab someone) and leverage to off-balance an opponent, take them to the ground, control them and ultimately force them to give-up (usually by "tap-out" to a submission). We offer jiu-jitsu classes for adults in the Gi as well no-Gi on weekday evenings and Saturday morning.
Kids Jiu-jitsu
We offer jiu-jitsu for kids (bjj for kids) six days a week: Mon-Sat. Jiu-jitsu helps kids gain strength and fitness, build confidence, and learn real self-defense and anti-bullying strategies. We offer three kids programs: MIGHTY-MITES for ages 3-6, PEE-WEE for 7-9, and JUNIOR/TEEN for 10-13. 14-16 year old students are welcome and will be assigned either to the JUNIOR/TEEN class or the ADULT Fundamental class, depending on their height and weight.
Mixed Martial Arts
We offer a beginner MMA class on Friday night at 7PM.
