Maxwell Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Maxwell Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is led by Davin Maxwell, who has practiced the art for over 30 years. Based in Sacramento, the academy emphasizes technical jiu-jitsu that suits a variety of lifestyles. Maxwell’s approach focuses on leveraging technique over strength, aiming to equip students with effective self-defense skills while also promoting physical fitness and mental resilience. Training at Maxwell’s academy includes both gi and no-gi classes for adults and children, along with dedicated drill sessions designed to reinforce fundamental movements and transitions. The schedule also features open mat times where students can drill or spar freely. This structure supports steady progression through different skill levels, allowing practitioners to build a solid base before moving into more advanced concepts. The gym maintains accessibility with facilities that accommodate wheelchair users, and the atmosphere is practical and straightforward: students can train in gym shorts and a T-shirt for no-gi classes, with gi classes following traditional practice. Private lessons and a free trial class are available to newcomers interested in exploring the gentle art under experienced guidance.
