Delano Jiu Jitsu Club

Delano Jiu Jitsu Club is guided by Professors Eric and Ryan, both black belts who began training in 2009 and have developed the academy with a focus on personal growth alongside technical development. Their approach emphasizes building character and life skills through Jiu-Jitsu, reflecting a philosophy that values being a better person above all. Ryan’s competitive history spans numerous IBJJF and NAGA events with multiple medals, including bronze at the 2016 IBJJF World Championship and titles such as the 2018 IBJJF American National Champion, underscoring the level of experience behind the instruction. Training at the club covers both gi and no-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu across age groups, with structured classes for kids starting as young as five up to teens, as well as adult sessions. The curriculum includes a competitive no-gi team for younger practitioners, which supports those preparing for local and regional tournaments. Adult classes offer a balance of fundamental technique and live rolling in both gi and no-gi formats. The academy’s schedule accommodates drop-in students, and the facility is wheelchair accessible, which broadens participation. Located on Garzoli Avenue in Delano, the club maintains a steady presence in the Central Valley area, blending community roots with a commitment to developing dedicated grapplers. While the academy collaborates with Trujitsu, its focus remains on cultivating a respectful training environment where technical skill and personal improvement advance side by side. This balance shapes how students progress through the ranks and prepare for competition or recreational practice.
