🧠 Why Adults Choose City of Palms

  • Beginner-Friendly Instruction
    You don’t need to be fit or experienced to get started. Our instructors break everything down step by step, so you can build a strong foundation at your own pace.

  • Real Skills. Real Confidence.
    Brazilian Jiu Jitsu teaches leverage, body awareness, and control — making it one of the most effective self-defense systems for men and women of all ages.

  • Fitness With Purpose
    Forget boring cardio — jiu jitsu builds strength, mobility, and endurance while keeping your brain engaged. You’ll burn calories, relieve stress, and have a blast doing it.

  • No Egos. Just Growth.
    Our Fort Myers BJJ community is full of working professionals, parents, students, and military/law enforcement members. We train hard and support each other harder.

  • Absolutely. Whether you’ve never stepped on the mat or are returning after years away, our classes always cover the basics before moving into advanced technique. Everyone starts somewhere.

  • Yes — and they thrive here. Jiu Jitsu is one of the most empowering martial arts for women because it relies on leverage, not size or strength. We have multiple female students and coaches, and our environment is safe, supportive, and welcoming.

  • Not at all. Jiu Jitsu is how you get in shape. We’ll meet you where you are and help you build strength, cardio, and confidence over time.

  • If you don’t have a gi, no problem. We have loaners available. Wear athletic clothes you can move comfortably in (no zippers or buttons).

  • Gi classes use the traditional kimono and allow grips on the uniform. No-Gi is practiced in rash guards and shorts, with faster-paced movement and different grips. We offer both.

  • Nope. We’ll introduce sparring gradually, when you feel ready. You’ll never be thrown into live rolling without a foundation.

  • Yes — your first class is free. Come see the vibe, ask questions, and train at your pace. We’d love to meet you. Book a free trial class.
