01 // MISSION STATEMENT

At South Tampa Jiu-Jitsu, our mission is toBUILD A STRONGER COMMUNITY BY DEVELOPING STRONGER PEOPLE.

South Tampa Jiu-Jitsu was founded with the goal of building a community where people of every age and skill level feel welcome, supported, and inspired to become the best version of themselves. It is a place where lifelong friendships are formed, families grow together, and every member knows they belong.

We believe martial arts is for everyone: those stepping onto the mat for the very first class, those looking for a fun and healthy activity to share with your family, those training to become a world-class competitor, or those simply seeking a challenging workout in a welcoming environment.

Through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, and martial arts, we teach confidence, discipline, respect, and perseverance. We believe these lessons extend far beyond the mats; we aim to create stronger leaders, stronger families, and stronger neighborhoods.

OUR COMMITMENT IS SIMPLE SOUTH TAMPA STRONG
STEP 01

STRONGER PEOPLE

STEP 02

STRONGER FAMILIES

Stronger families create a stronger community.

STEP 03

STRONGER COMMUNITY

That is what South Tampa Strong means — our commitment to helping build a community that is stronger, safer, healthier, and more connected.

Together, we are creating a community that is stronger, safer, healthier, and more connected — one student, one family, and one class at a time.

I have been a member of South Tampa Jiu-Jitsu for around 7 years now. Lane, John and the entire community have treated me like family since day one. The entire staff is incredibly knowledgeable, detailed and patient with everyone who walks in the door. I could not recommend them any stronger as both professors and people.
