Port City Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Port City Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Kittery, Maine is shaped by a team of instructors with over 50 years of combined training experience and a direct Gracie Barra lineage under Professor Roberto Maia, 5th degree black belt. The academy’s approach centers on building a lively, team-oriented atmosphere where students are encouraged to push each other and themselves, whether their goals are competition, self-defense, or simply enjoying time on the mat. Classes at Port City cover a wide range of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu programs. Students can expect fundamentals for newer members, advanced gi classes, dedicated no-gi submission grappling, competition training, and a women’s-only class. The kids’ BJJ program introduces young students to the art in a structured, supportive setting. Several instructors bring additional backgrounds in judo, striking, and mixed martial arts, which adds further depth to the training offered. The academy welcomes visitors to try a class, providing a loaner gi for newcomers. The facility at 280 Route 1 is wheelchair accessible and designed to support a busy schedule of classes for all ages. Port City’s mission remains focused on providing high-level instruction while fostering the camaraderie and mutual progress that come from hours spent together on the mats.
