If you've searched "jiu jitsu near me," here's what you're actually looking for: real instruction, from real competitors, in a gym that treats you like family from day one.

​

Onyx Combat Sports offers Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for every age and every skill level — from your very first class to competition-ready training. We're centrally located in Newtown Square, PA, making us an easy drive for students throughout Delaware, Montgomery, and Chester Counties, including Media, Broomall, Villanova, Wayne, and the greater Main Line.

​

Train Under World-Class Instruction

Our program is led by instructors who compete at the highest level of the sport — including a coach currently ranked #8 in the world by the IBJJF (International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation) at Black Belt Masters 2 Featherweight. That's not a marketing line — it's the kind of technical depth that shapes every class, whether you're an absolute beginner or working toward your own competition goals.

​

What Is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu?

Known as "the gentle art," Jiu Jitsu is a grappling-based martial art and self-defense system built on leverage and technique — not size or strength. That's what makes it one of the most effective, accessible combat sports for people of any age, body type, or fitness level.

​

We Train Both Gi and No-Gi

• Gi Jiu Jitsu — trained in the traditional kimono, adding grips, collar and sleeve control, and gi-specific submissions. It's the format used in most major IBJJF competitions and builds the technical foundation the entire art is built on.

• No-Gi Jiu Jitsu — trained in rashguards and shorts, without gi grips to rely on. The pace is faster and more athletic, with heavier emphasis on underhooks, overhooks, and scrambles — and it's the grappling style closest to MMA.
   

Training both makes you a more complete grappler — Gi builds precision and patience, No-Gi builds speed and athleticism. Our program moves between both, so students develop a well-rounded game rather than just one dimension of it.
