FSU JIU JITSU CLUB

FSU Jiu Jitsu Club is a student-run organization at Florida State University in Tallahassee that brings together students and faculty interested in practical self-defense and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The club operates out of the Tully Gym Combatives Room and is recognized as part of the university’s Sport Club Council, with its activities overseen by FSU Campus Recreation. The group’s mission centers on teaching members how to defend themselves against stronger opponents using the principles of leverage and timing, which are at the heart of Jiu-Jitsu. Training at the club covers a broad range of real-life scenarios. While grappling and ground techniques form a key part of the curriculum, the FSU club also addresses striking, throws, and defenses against sudden attacks. This approach aims to give members a complete look at how Jiu-Jitsu can apply both on and off the mats. The club welcomes current FSU students, full-time faculty, and staff, and is guided by the rules and governance of the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation. Classes and training sessions are typically structured to accommodate busy student schedules. The club’s sessions focus on practical skills, and while the main emphasis is on Jiu-Jitsu, members often cross-train with other fitness classes available through FSU Campus Recreation. Drop-ins are possible for those eligible through the university. The FSU Jiu Jitsu Club continues to serve as a hands-on introduction to BJJ and self-defense for the FSU community.
