Team Octopus Jiu Jitsu

Team Octopus Jiu Jitsu in Henderson operates under the guidance of Christopher Acosta, a black belt who trained under Rob Lagasca and progressed from white to black belt within that lineage. Acosta brings a competition-tested approach to the academy, emphasizing technical accuracy, smart training habits, and steady improvement. He serves as an assistant coach for the competition team, supporting students across all levels. The academy’s curriculum covers both gi and no-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for adults and kids, with classes segmented by age groups—5 to 8 and 9 to 14 for children—and open enrollment for adults. Training focuses on practical grappling techniques, including takedowns, ground control, submissions, and escapes, alongside real-world self-defense skills. Beginners find a paced introduction that prioritizes safety and gradual conditioning, while more experienced students can engage in competition preparation and live rolling. Located in Black Mountain Marketplace, the facility is wheelchair accessible and offers a range of martial arts programs that extend beyond BJJ, including striking and fitness options geared toward families and individuals. The academy encourages students to develop discipline, confidence, and coordination through consistent training, with opportunities for private lessons and open mat sessions to supplement regular classes.
