Spartanburg Jiujitsu

Spartanburg Jiujitsu is guided by Brandon, a black belt who has trained in martial arts for 25 years, beginning karate at four and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu from age 11. Born and raised in Spartanburg, he has led the academy for eight years, focusing on sharing his lifelong passion and supporting students’ progress on the mats. Brandon’s own training continues alongside his coach Rafael Rosendo dos Santos of Alliance Greenville, and he pursues IBJJF gold in the black belt division as part of his competitive goals. Classes at Spartanburg Jiujitsu emphasize steady development through fundamentals, drilling, and advanced techniques in the gi. The schedule includes morning and evening sessions, open mat times available to drop-ins, and specialized classes such as competition training, women’s BJJ under the Valkyrie program, and masters classes for older adults. Youth programming starts at age five, with beginner and advanced kids’ classes designed to build skills progressively. The academy operates seven days a week from early morning to late evening at its East Main Street location, offering a variety of training formats including no-gi classes and yoga to complement grappling practice. New students can take a free first class, reflecting the gym’s straightforward approach to welcoming people who want to start or continue their BJJ journey in Spartanburg.
