St. Paul Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy

At St. Paul Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy, students quickly notice the hands-on approach that head coach Brandon Bergeron brings to every class. Brandon’s background is rooted in both competitive Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and real-world self-defense, shaped by over a decade on the mats, a 14-3 professional MMA record, and years of experience in law enforcement and security. He was awarded his black belt in January 2017 under Professor Greg Nelson and has competed at top events including IBJJF Chicago Open, Fight 2 Win Pro, and Sub Spectrum, collecting medals and championship titles at every stage. The academy’s classes are structured to meet a range of goals, with BJJ Foundations for beginners, BJJ Mastery for advanced students, and self-defense programs that blend technical jiu-jitsu with Brandon’s practical experience from police work and MMA. Youth instruction is a priority, with a dedicated kids martial arts program that focuses on building confidence, discipline, and grappling skills for children. Every coach on the mat holds at least a blue belt, and the teaching team is committed to developing students at all levels, from first-time grapplers to active competitors. Training at the academy includes both gi and no-gi classes, giving students a full spectrum of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practice. The facility at 322 Chester Street is wheelchair accessible and set up to support everyone from families to serious athletes. Whether students are interested in competition, practical self-defense, or just a challenging workout, the academy’s schedule and instruction reflect the depth of its coaching staff and the real-world experience behind the curriculum.
