"Jiu jitsu and martial arts do not build character, they reveal it. We are all born with unmeasurable courage and determination, but it is as we go through the trials of rigorous training that we rediscover those gifts." - Ricardo Almeida
The sacred place
Our mats are sacred, but everyone is welcome. The mats are our safe place, our therapy room, our room to learn and share knowledge, to be open minded, where you will find friends, comrades…you will be challenged, you will grow, you will find and earn respect. These are the sacred mats at Pallaton.
Open mat Saturdays and Sundays 10am, ALL are welcome! Pallaton BJJ
"Jiu-Jitsu has been a life-changing experience for my entire family."
"From a sedentary lifestyle to losing over 60 pounds and quitting smoking, Jiu-Jitsu transformed my health."
"Pallaton BJJ became a big part of our lives, helping us overcome adversities and build a strong family foundation."
“I am so beyond grateful for the Women's Class at Pallaton BJJ. It has helped me with my PTSD from an assault I experienced some years ago, and my depression and anxiety have gotten significantly better since I have started jiu-jitsu. It also gives me something healthy to be "addicted" to instead of alcohol, which used to be my escape...but now I have the mats, and the support of these amazing ladies, and it 100% helps me stay sober.
I am healthier, happier, and more confident than I have ever been, and it is so much so because of this amazing class that is teaching me how to never be another victim again.”
"The family atmosphere and camaraderie at Pallaton BJJ are unmatched."
"Professor Sal's teachings gave my sons the confidence to overcome bullying in school."
"My youngest son, once anti-social and non-verbal, broke out of his shell through Jiu-Jitsu."
“As a domestic violence survivor with years of scars physically and emotionally; it’s a stress reliever. This Women’s class is something to help build self defense movements in a safe environment. It helps by purging pent up stressors. In this day and age, who knows when and where you will need to be able to move in a manner that will help you survive. This class is something I wish I had in my younger years to build that foundation.”
"Pallaton BJJ instills positivity, perseverance, and the strength to push through challenges."
"Jiu-Jitsu has brought us an extended family and a community of lifelong friends."
“My sister and I have a complicated past with abuse that enabled us to have constant fear for our well-being. I am much older than her, and knew that if I had access to a program like the one offered at Pallaton at her age, I would have had more self confidence and an understanding of my own strength. Both of those things, combined with the mental stimulation that comes from quick action problem solving has made our participation in the free Monday course absolutely priceless. We can't afford to be regular members, and this has allowed us to learn about ourselves and our abilities. We walk away from every class with a great sense of accomplishment and empowerment.”
