Grand Forks Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Academy

Grand Forks Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Academy delivers martial arts and self-defense education at 2750 Gateway Drive in Grand Forks, North Dakota. The academy extends the training curriculum developed by the Fargo BJJ Academy team, which has instructed students across the region since 2008. The instructional program is directed by head coach Professor Preston Fish, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt under Professor George Andersch. The academy's lineage traces through Andersch to American jiu-jitsu pioneer Amal Easton and the Renzo Gracie team. Fish oversees technical curriculum for both adult students and youth practitioners. Class offerings include foundational and advanced gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, no-gi submission grappling, youth BullyProof classes, and kickboxing sessions focusing on pad work, combinations, and footwork. Training emphasizes positional control, escapes, and leverage over raw athleticism. New students can register for a complimentary orientation class.
