Southeast Jiu Jitsu

Southeast Jiu Jitsu in Baxley, Georgia, is led by Brent Coleman, a second degree black belt under Scott Devine and a high school administrator with over 15 years of BJJ teaching experience. The academy is a Devine Jiu Jitsu affiliate, and its coaching staff brings together deep roots in traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and a broad range of experience.
