Woodland Jiu Jitsu Academy

Woodland Jiu Jitsu Academy is led by Professor Julian Flowers, a black belt under Cassio Werneck since 2019. Julian brings a technical and precise approach to instruction, shaped by years competing at high levels and a focus on mentorship. The academy’s coaching team also includes instructors with diverse backgrounds, such as Coach Tracey Pike, a dedicated practitioner since 2012 with experience in mental health nursing, and Coach Hans Gomez, a brown belt in judo who emphasizes efficiency and mutual welfare. This combination reflects a philosophy that values both technical skill and personal growth. Training at Woodland follows a structured progression starting with fundamentals for adults in both gi and no-gi formats, taught by experienced instructors who emphasize solid basics and gradual development. The academy offers gi classes geared toward competition preparation as well as no-gi fundamentals, ensuring students build a versatile grappling foundation. For younger students, the Little Champs program introduces children ages 5 to 6 to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in a way that balances skill-building with confidence and discipline. Beyond Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Woodland integrates judo classes for adults, led by Coach Hans, who brings nearly a decade of experience and a philosophy centered on maximum efficiency and mutual benefit. The academy’s facilities accommodate families and individuals alike, with accessible parking and wheelchair access. Drop-in visitors are accepted, making it possible for newcomers to experience the instruction and training environment firsthand.
