Ground Level BJJ was founded with the belief that fitness should be accessible to everyone. We want you to have fun, feel supported and gain confidence. Whether you join us as a hobbyist, to compete or are learning self-defense, we will give you individual instructions to help you reach whatever goal you have set for yourself. We believe in technique over strength, quality over quantity. Having fun is mandatory, smiling is optional.
Our founder, Kenny, struggled to find a gym that he felt comfortable in, so he decided to create his own.
Today, Ground Level BJJ is a thriving community of members who share Kenny's vision.
Kenny is the owner and head instructor of our gym. He is a 1st degree blackbelt Over the last 6 years, when he’s not conditioning for tournaments, he has coached kids and adults in their competitions. He is consistently working with students individually to ensure that they challenge themselves and grow within the sport. Kenny is also a black belt in Judo. He has found that Judo’s stand up game is a perfect cross over to train alongside jiu jitsu.
Kenny is a coach that competes regularly. He believes that competing himself is the best way to lead by example. He competes every chance he gets, whether at local tournaments or internationally with IBJJF. He welcomes everyone to the sport, and if you ever find yourself at a tournament without a coach, don’t be afraid to grab him for support. Kenny is also a certified personal trainer and nutritionist.
