OUR JIU JITSU JOURNEY


Valor Jiu Jitsu was founded with a vision to create a place where individuals can not only learn the art of Jiu Jitsu, but also grow and develop as individuals. Our academy is built on the principles of respect, perseverance, and continuous self-improvement. We have cultivated a welcoming and inclusive community where everyone is encouraged to support and motivate each other. Our journey is not just about mastering techniques, but about building character and resilience that extends far beyond the mats. Join us and become a part of our inspiring Jiu Jitsu family, where you can forge lasting friendships, push your boundaries, and achieve greatness both on and off the mat. 


At Valor Jiu Jitsu, we are dedicated to empowering warriors of all ages through the art of Jiu Jitsu. We believe in fostering a community where individuals can build confidence, discipline, and respect while honing their physical and mental strength. Located in Pasadena California,  our goal is to instill the values of perseverance, determination, and camaraderie in every student, preparing them to overcome any challenge on and off the mat. With a focus on technique, strategy, and mindset, we are committed to helping our members achieve their personal best, both in Jiu Jitsu and in life.
