About Us
Our Gym
ConwayBJJ was the original grappling program in Conway, AR. Since 1999 Conwaybjj has been focused on providing the best submission grappling and MMA training in the area. Whether your interested in competing in Mixed Martial Arts/ Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or looking for a great way to get and stay in shape, Conwaybjj is perfect place to start. ALL of our coaches have fought in the cage AND competed in numerous Brazilian Jiu Jitsu tournaments, outside of the gym, in real competition. With a mix of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Wrestling, and boxing Conwaybjj focuses on the skills need to be successful in the cage or on the mats.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program offers a complete system that will teach you the use of leverage to control and then submit an opponent. Upon achieving positional dominance over your opponent you will then learn how to quickly and effectively end the fight with a simple choke or joint lock. Don’t worry if you are not particularly strong or athletic. Because Jiu-jitsu is based on leverage and body position, it is perfectly designed for a smaller individual to defeat a much larger and stronger opponent or attacker.
Jiu-jitsu is traditionally practiced with a uniform, known as a “gi” consisting of a jacket, pants and a belt. No-Gi jiu-jitsu, also known as Submission Wrestling, is simply jiu-jitsu practiced with a t-shirt or rash-guard and a pair of shorts. At Conwaybjj we focus on NO GI Jiu Jitsu designed to blend our supieror submission skills with our strong wrestling base for a submission grappling style desgined for the cage, where there are no GIs.
Wrestling
With Wrestling now growing in Arkansas, ConwayBJJ is the gym to build the wrestling skills needed to compete in High school wrestling, submission Wrestling, or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu competitions. A strong Wrestling background is also the most sought after skill for MMA. Conwaybjj’s wrestling coach, Jeff Hardy has added the freestyle wrestling and Greco Roman wrestling skills to our gym that will help anyone looking to excel at combat sports.
Boxing
Our boxing program is designed to teach the fundamentals of boxing and kickboxing and apply those techniques to Mixed Martial Arts.
