Having trained at three different Jiu Jitsu gyms, I can confidently say that this one stands out as the best. The techniques taught here are consistently among the most current and effective. Professor Clay is dedicated to imparting practical skills that truly work, ensuring that no time is wasted on impractical methods.

I have been training at CPJJ for 4 years and some change after 2 years of training at other gyms. From the first day I walked in it has been nothing but quality instruction from Clay and sparring from him and his students. The environment fosters excellence for all levels of the art and imbues a love of learning. If you are an experienced practitioner you will find a combination of tested and innovate technique which is constantly improved upon. If you are brand new to grappling you will find a more than welcoming environment which simply wants you to learn and grow. If you have ever considered learning a martial art this is one of the best places to learn. Gi or no-gi. There is always someone willing to train.
