Coast to Coast Athletic Club & Resilience Jiu Jitsu 511 US-17 Hollyridge, Nc

Coast to Coast Athletic Club & Resilience Jiu Jitsu 511 US-17 Hollyridge, Nc is rooted in Holly Ridge and led by Professors PJ Ross and Albert Ross, a husband-and-wife team whose martial arts journey spans decades and continents. Professor PJ Ross is the first female black belt under Alliance leader João Faria to open her own academy, and brings over thirteen years of experience, including pioneering women’s MMA in Okinawa. Professor Albert Ross, a retired Marine with twenty years of service, is also a certified black belt under João Faria and holds a degree in sports psychology. Together, they have built a school grounded in discipline, faith, and family, shaped by years of training with their children across the globe. The academy’s programs reflect this family-first approach, offering Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, boxing, and Muay Thai for all ages and experience levels. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is taught in the gi, with classes for adults, a dedicated women’s program, and youth groups starting as young as age three in Tot Jitsu. Young grapplers are guided by Coach Celia, who began training at four and now leads the mini-eagles program as a purple belt with a lifetime on the mats. Structured progression and purposeful drilling are emphasized in every class, and students regularly compete and place in tournaments, carrying the school’s values beyond the academy. Coast to Coast maintains a packed schedule with morning, midday, and evening classes throughout the week, plus Saturday open mats that welcome visitors. The facility is wheelchair accessible and the team is especially attentive to military families, helping them transition smoothly when relocating. Whether training alongside family or preparing for competition, members find a school where resilience, respect, and growth are at the heart of every session.
