Cornelius BJJ Academy

Cornelius BJJ Academy is led by Brian Solly, who manages both the adult and kids programs alongside a team of instructors specializing in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and judo. The school offers a balanced mix of gi and no-gi training, with adult classes ranging from fundamentals to advanced positional sparring. Kids between 5 and 12 years old have separate gi and no-gi classes, including wrestling sessions designed to build foundational skills. Judo is also a significant part of the curriculum, with dedicated classes and open mat times throughout the week. Training here happens across multiple sessions each day, including early morning no-gi classes and evening gi fundamentals. The schedule supports consistent practice, with open mat periods available for adults and judo practitioners to drill and roll freely. The academy serves the Lake Norman area, welcoming students from Cornelius and nearby towns, focusing on steady development rather than quick fixes. The instructors include specialists like Josh Roach, Brian Mynatt, and Soufiane Gdahfa for judo, and Tyler Tremblay and Steven White for kids’ classes, providing age-appropriate coaching and progression. Private lessons and competition-focused sessions are also part of the offering, allowing students to tailor their training to specific goals. The academy’s location on Chartwell Center Drive provides a straightforward setting for those committed to building their skills in both Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and judo.
