About Jiu-Jitsu

Instructor teaching a jiu-jitsu class in a gym

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a grappling martial art, like wrestling or judo – it involves no striking.

Jiu-jitsu focuses on controlling an opponent’s movement and the application of fight-ending strangles and joint-locks.

The sport gained popularity after establishing itself as the foundational grappling art in MMA, but is also trained for fitness, self-defense, and recreation.

Jiu-jitsu is a sport both broad and deep, practiced by millions of men, women, and children around the world.

About Bold Spirit

Grapplers doing martial arts in a gym

Bold Spirit is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu academy founded in 2023. We’re located in Oak Harbor on Whidbey Island.

Every gym has its own way of doing things. At Bold Spirit, our way of doing things emphasizes:

  • Simplicity. Jiu-jitsu is a complex sport, but we find the core ideas and principles that apply again and again.
  • Control. Across the thousands of configurations two opponents can be in, the north star for grappling is control of your opponent’s movement. Of course, being focused on this is a type of self-control, which we also emphasize.
  • A better life. It sounds cliché, but it’s obvious to longtime practitioners: jiu-jitsu is a way to live better.
