Diego Saraiva BJJ
Discover Your Inner Champion
Through Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, we help people discover their inner champion – growing healthier, more capable, and more confident – in a friendly environment. We can help you, too!
Welcome
To Diego Saraiva Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
We are the premiere Brazilian Jiu Jitsu academy in Norcross, Georgia. We believe that jiu jitsu is a lifestyle that transcends the sport and self-defense. It improves the whole person – physically, mentally, and emotionally. We offer classes for people of all ages and fitness levels in an environment that is safe, friendly, & supportive.
Be HEALTHY
While your mind is focused on new challenges, you’ll forget that you’re getting an aerobic and anaerobic workout and blasting calories away. But you’ll know you’re an athlete when you feel healthier and more fit than ever before.
Be Capable
Don’t just hope that your skills will work if you ever need them. Experience the effectiveness of your skills every time you train with people of all sizes and strengths.
Be Confident
There’s a reason that Brazilian Jiu jitsu is central to Mixed Martial Arts and essential to winning in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). It’s the single most practical and effective martial art for physical conflict and self defense.
Be in Good Company
There’s just something that happens when you train with others – a fundamental element of learning jiu jitsu. Training partners become friends, and friends become family.
