About Free BJJ

Free BJJ is a Seed Of Light initiative created to make Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu accessible to those who face barriers—especially disability and financial hardship.

We believe training is more than sport: it is confidence, discipline, emotional strength, and community.

Important: This is a community-based program, not a commercial academy. Participation depends on safety, capacity, and meeting requirements described below.

Why Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

  • Technique over strength.
  • Adaptable for different abilities.
  • Builds self-control and confidence.
  • Teaches calm problem-solving under pressure.

Program

Free BJJ offers free training opportunities aimed at people with disabilities, children, and families. After you submit a request, we follow up with next steps and basic guidelines.

Eligibility

  • People with disabilities (all ages).
  • Children and youth.
  • Families who cannot pay for traditional classes.

Safety and Respect

Safety is non-negotiable. Respect is the culture. Any bullying, unsafe behavior, or disrespect ends participation immediately.

Basic rules

  • Follow instructions and communicate limitations.
  • Train with care and control.
  • Stop immediately if you feel pain or danger.
  • Keep the space clean and organized.
Location notice: Classes take place in a private residential garage training space. Waivers and acknowledgments will be required (documents will be provided).

Supported by Team Conde

Free BJJ is not a one-person project. From the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu community perspective, the program is supported by Team Conde, led by Armando Conde, a 7th degree coral belt.

This statement recognizes technical lineage and the training culture of respect and safety. Free BJJ operates as a Seed Of Light community initiative for nonprofit/community purposes.

Request to Join

Submit a request and we will follow up with next steps, basic safety guidelines, and the required documents.
