Mountain Division Jiu Jitsu

Mountain Division Jiu Jitsu in Fletcher, North Carolina, has built its program around a structured, hands-on approach that guides students from fundamentals through advanced skills. Classes are organized for both adults and kids, with clear progression in gi and no-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The weekly schedule features all-levels gi classes, focused fundamentals, and regular no-gi sessions, alongside open mats for both adults and children. Additional offerings such as kickboxing and judo open mat provide students with a broader base in grappling and striking, while early-morning study rolls and weekend sessions cater to a variety of training needs. The academy was founded in 2015 by Brad Hannah, a black belt under Steve Hall and affiliated with Marc Laimon and Cobra Kai Jiu Jitsu. Brad brings a diverse background in catch wrestling, boxing, and traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, drawing on a lineage that runs from Mitsuyo Maeda and Helio Gracie through Royce Gracie to Marc Laimon. His teaching philosophy emphasizes building a strong foundation through consistent class attendance, systematic drilling, and open mat experimentation, allowing students to progress at their own pace while encouraging competitive growth for those interested. Mountain Division operates in both Fletcher and Hendersonville, with programs tailored for different age groups and skill levels. The Kids AJJ program introduces children to American Jiu-Jitsu in a fun, interactive setting, prioritizing safety and character development. Adults benefit from a mix of structured instruction, open mat time, and access to seminars by visiting instructors. The academy is wheelchair accessible and maintains a steady focus on holistic development—strengthening mind, body, and spirit through disciplined martial arts practice.
