Train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in paradise.

WHAT YOU Need to Know

  • Jaco Jiu Jitsu specializes in private, by appointment Jiu Jitsu lessons. Personalized coaching accelerates progress. We accept groups of up to five people, and private students may schedule “open mat” time to work technique.

  • Super friendly. Professor Donahue loves teaching basic Jiu Niutsu at every level, white through black. Getting started is also simple. Just reach out through WhatsApp and we’ll walk you through next steps and answer any questions along the way.

  • Anyone from any Jiu Jitsu school. We are inclusive and believe in cross training. This philosophy sets Jaco Ju Jitsu apart. It is always about what’s best for the athletes that train here.

  • A positive attitude is most important. Water is also essential. We train gi and no-gi. Loaner gear may be available upon request.

  • Sessions are booked by appointment only via WhatsApp.

  • Before you choose a Jiu-Jitsu school, research who your instructor is.

    What’s their lineage? Who gave them their black belt? How long have they had it? Do they compete? Have they won any majors? What about their students? How do they do in competition?

    Take a trial class. See if you like the culture. 

    Ask the other students questions. See what kind of reputation the instructor has. 

    Have there been problems at the school? Be careful, some dojos with qualified teachers are flat-out toxic.
