Matrix BJJ Academy - Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Matrix BJJ Academy - Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was founded to serve Auburn’s growing interest in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with a focus on skill development, confidence, and self-defense. Under the guidance of Coach Leo Porras and his team, the academy offers instruction for youth and adults, including homeschool families and law enforcement personnel. The school’s location on A Street SE places it centrally in Auburn, making it accessible to students from the surrounding neighborhoods. Training at Matrix BJJ covers a broad age range, from young children as early as three years old in the Minis program to adults working through fundamentals and advanced techniques. Classes emphasize gi training, with structured beginner sessions that include rolling afterward, allowing students to apply what they learn in live sparring. Youth classes are divided by age groups, with specialized sessions for homeschoolers, ensuring tailored instruction that fits different schedules and learning styles. Beyond regular classes, the academy hosts open mat sessions that welcome drop-ins, giving practitioners additional time to drill and spar in a less formal setting. The facility is wheelchair accessible, reflecting an attention to accommodating diverse needs. Students looking to visit can arrange a free two-class pass by contacting the academy, where Coach Leo and staff provide loaner gis and help newcomers get oriented before stepping onto the mats.
