Zia BJJ

Zia BJJ operates within Zia Martial Arts in Las Cruces, New Mexico, where several instructors with diverse martial arts backgrounds guide students through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and related disciplines. Among the staff, Sensei Daniel Talamantez brings over 20 years of experience in judo, Kenpo Karate, and BJJ, holding a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The coaching team also includes instructors focused on fostering discipline, confidence, and resilience, blending traditional martial arts values with a practical approach to training. Students at Zia train primarily in gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, with classes structured for adults and children, including separate sessions for women and specialized kids’ programs. No-gi classes are also part of the curriculum, allowing practitioners to develop skills in both formats. Beyond BJJ, the academy offers wrestling classes for kids, mixed martial arts training, and sparring sessions, providing a broad base for those interested in multiple combat sports. Open mat times are regularly scheduled to give students additional rolling opportunities. Classes run Monday through Saturday with flexible scheduling to accommodate different age groups and skill levels. The school emphasizes steady progression through fundamentals to more advanced techniques, supporting students who want to compete as well as those training for personal development. The environment balances technical rigor with a supportive atmosphere where learning from mistakes is part of growth.
