About Highstyle Jiu Jitsu
Highstyle Jiu-Jitsu is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu club that trains and competes out of Adams Morgan, NW Washington DC. Prior to 2020 (Before COVID) we offered public training, free community classes, competed in numerous grappling tournaments and maintained a kids grappling program. Lockdown 2020 arrived and we were forced to take a step back and close our doors temporarily.
After much time away from the mats the decision was made to continue private training only in an inclusive environment with a cap on participants. We are tremendously lucky to share a space with dedicated individuals who on average train twice a day. During the quarantine we had the opportunity to share the mats with coaches such as Andris Brunovskis (Legion JJ) and Eduardo Telles (99 JJ).
We are in the process of locking down commercial space so we can open up to the public again soon. We cannot wait to see our core group grow and for all of us to get back on the mats together to learn and have fun!

5.
Will I get injured if I train Jiu Jitsu?
There is always a risk of injury when practicing any physical activity, let alone a combat sport. In Jiu Jitsu, and especially here at Highstyle, we tend to emphasize safe ways of training and avoiding injury. With more understanding of how the body moves, the better you can care for it.

Do your coaches teach private lessons?
Currently, we only offer small group and private training sessions (on a case by case basis) with people who are able to provide space. We will come to you with the mats! Whether its your backyard or the park down the street, we are happy to find a solution for you.
Our traveling instructors all train under our main instructor, Isaac Rehner.
