Black Diamond Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Black Diamond Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is guided by a team of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu black belt instructors who bring years of experience both on and off the mats. The academy focuses on teaching Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as a close-range martial art that emphasizes control and submissions without relying on strikes, making it effective for self-defense and competitive grappling. Their approach stresses technique over strength, aiming to develop discipline, respect, and sportsmanship among students of all ages. Students at Black Diamond train in both gi and no-gi formats, with classes tailored to different skill levels from beginner fundamentals to advanced techniques. The academy offers separate youth programs in gi and no-gi, ensuring that kids receive age-appropriate instruction alongside adult classes. Open mat sessions provide additional time for practice and sparring outside of structured lessons. Beyond BJJ, the school also includes beginner MMA and conditioning classes, expanding the training options for those interested in mixed martial arts. Located in Reno, Nevada, Black Diamond provides accessible facilities including parking and wheelchair access. The schedule accommodates busy lifestyles with day and evening classes, and drop-ins are welcome for those wanting to try out the training. The gym’s focus remains on helping students develop confidence and physical fitness through a demanding and engaging martial arts program grounded in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu principles.
