Freedom Jiu Jitsu Collective

Freedom Jiu Jitsu Collective in Freeport, Florida, brings together a team of black belt instructors with deep ties to respected lineages, including John Jenkins (black belt under John Burke and Luis Salazar of the Royce Gracie Network), Kenny Angelini (black belt under Justin Cavender), Dean Sansom (black belt under John Jenkins), and Larry McCallister. The academy sits just off HWY 20, and its programs are built to support students who compete, train for self-defense, or simply want to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in a safe, structured setting. Classes at Freedom Jiu Jitsu Collective are organized for all ages and experience levels, starting with kids’ beginners (age 5+) and progressing through intermediate and competition team options. Adults can start in dedicated beginners’ classes or jump into gi and no-gi sessions, with drilling classes and open mat rounds available throughout the week. There’s a homeschool BJJ option for families, and the Women’s Jiu Jitsu Team offers a dedicated space for female students to train and develop their skills. The gym welcomes drop-ins and features a wheelchair-accessible facility. With both gi and no-gi programs, a kids’ curriculum that includes competition training, and member-only drilling sessions for advanced practice, Freedom Jiu Jitsu Collective is designed to meet the needs of serious students and families alike.
