Hanover Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Hanover Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is led by a team of experienced black belts and dedicated instructors, including Gregg Anderson, a third-degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and brown belt in Judo. Gregg is known throughout the region for his teaching background—he was the first BJJ black belt in the Harrisburg area and has coached students to success in both gi and no-gi competition. Alongside Gregg, David Brogan brings a fourth-degree black belt in Judo and a second-degree black belt in BJJ, with decades of competitive experience and leadership in national judo organizations. Monica Brogan, a second-degree BJJ black belt and founder of the Dangerous Damsels women’s self-defense program, rounds out the leadership, bringing a strong record in both competition and practical self-defense instruction. The academy’s approach is technical and structured, with classes for every stage of the journey. Adult students can train in both gi and no-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, with sessions that emphasize practical application, movement, and strategy. Wrestling and kickboxing are also on the schedule, reflecting the instructors’ diverse backgrounds and the gym’s commitment to grappling and striking fundamentals. Kids’ BJJ is offered in both gi and no-gi formats, giving younger students a chance to build confidence and discipline from an early age. Women’s self-defense is a core part of the programming, led by Monica Brogan and rooted in her experience with Dangerous Damsels. Open mats and drop-in training are regular parts of the weekly schedule, and the facility is wheelchair accessible. The team’s teaching philosophy centers on building real skill, resilience, and personal growth—whether a student’s goal is self-defense, fitness, or competition. With a staff that values both technical excellence and individual progress, Hanover BJJ serves as a place where students of all ages can find challenge and support on the mats.
