Gyms Details:

Head Professor: Adam Peterson, Karen Peterson

Details: It’s on the mats where Karen and Adam first met back in 2011. Through the sport their relationship began and developed, leading to the start of marriage and family, now with two kids! Since the beginning of their relationship they both knew that they wanted to share their love of Jiu Jitsu with others who wanted to not only get in shape, but were looking for something bigger than themselves. At North South Jiu Jitsu we offer an ego-free training environment where people from all walks of life are welcome. You don’t need any prior martial arts or sports experience to join a class. We offer a place where you can be part of something more than just jiu jitsu, a place that fosters long lasting relationships, on and of the mats. You are able to take the classes at your own pace, you’re never forced to participate in any part of class that you aren’t comfortable with. Sparring is encouraged, but always optional and up to the individual. The instructors in class make an effort to know every student and will always answer any questions that they may have.
