Our programs
what we offer:
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art and combat sport system that particularly focuses on ground fighting techniques. It’s a unique art that utilizes a vast, comprehensive curriculum of skills that involve leverage and the application of joint locks and choke holds to submit the user’s opponent.
At Fortitude, we offer flexible class options that allow for the perfect opportunity to either learn something new, enhance your current skills, or even prepare for competition.
about our affiliation:
Led by Rodrigo Vaghi, a 5th degree BJJ Black Belt and student of Rickson Gracie, Team Vaghi is one of the most established jiu-jitsu teams in the Midwest. Our Northern Region affiliation spans throughout the Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan areas.
bjj blueprint
One of the common challenges many new practitioners face when diving head-first into a BJJ class is feeling like they’re hearing a brand new language for the first time. Because of this, we wanted to create a course that would give beginner students a clear, foundational knowledge, or “blueprint”, to take them successfully into our regularly scheduled classes. This class is only for beginner students, so each participant will be in good company with their similar skill level.
adult bjj
Our regularly scheduled Adult BJJ classes are recommended for students with more experience in creatively playing their game with participants of a wide range of skill level. From getting “back to the basics” in fundamentals all the way to Friday night Competiton class, there’s something for everyone who is looking to improve their game, gain and/or refresh their toolkit.
kids bjj (ages 4+)
If there’s anything we’ve learned from our years of teaching and training in the martial arts, it’s that the confidence and life lessons are unmatched for kids. Give your kids the gift of challenging themselves both on and off the mat, an activity that never goes “out of season”, and the ability to lead a values-driven life from an activity they love and enjoy.
