Ocean State Studios BJJ

Ocean State Studios BJJ is guided by a philosophy rooted in a respected lineage tracing back to Mitsuyo Maeda, Carlos Gracie Sr., Helio Gracie, Carlos Gracie Jr., Carlos Machado, Tim Burrill, and James Connor. Founded with the intention of sharing the lifestyle and philosophy of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, the academy focuses on more than just technique—it aims to develop confidence, resilience, and intentional movement in its practitioners. Classes emphasize clean technique, balance, breath work, coordination, and flow, with detailed discussions that explore the mechanics and underlying principles connecting each movement. Training at Ocean State Studios covers both the traditional and practical aspects of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, blending control and leverage with mental clarity. Students engage in sessions designed to break down moves in a way that fosters deeper understanding, not only of how techniques work but why they work. The academy welcomes practitioners from various affiliations, encouraging a respectful environment where growth and skill development are central to the experience. The schedule includes open mat sessions for adults, providing opportunities for additional practice and sparring beyond formal classes. The facility is wheelchair accessible, reflecting a consideration for inclusivity. Located in East Providence, Rhode Island, Ocean State Studios maintains a clear focus on connecting the physical and philosophical elements of BJJ while serving its local community.
