  • What Makes Us Different

    From the moment you step on the mats to the moment you leave, you’ll notice we do something a little bit different. There are some unspoken rules in most BJJ schools, and these rules can be tricky to follow if you don’t know them. We’ve mostly thrown them out, because a culture that inhibits growth, speedy learning, and positivity is far more important to us than hierarchy amongst students and coaches. First let’s look at “Mat Etiquette” We all have lives outside of Jiu Jitsu, sometimes that means you’re going to be late to practice, and that’s okay. Here’s where we differ, most Jiu Jitsu schools are going to expect you to stand mat ....

  • Training Programs

This quick read will give you the perfect explanation to know what comes after you sign up. What do most Jiu Jitsu Schools do? Here’s the TLDR; You walk in on day one, you get thrown into a program with partners that have one day of experience to ten years of experience. Now to be completely fair, some do offer a “Fundamentals Program” but you’re still ....

  • The Power of Why

    The Power of Why: Unveiling the Essence of Your BJJ Journey The Significance of Knowing Your “Why” In the world of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), the power of “why” is often underestimated but never overstated. Your reason for training isn’t just a fleeting thought—it’s the bedrock upon which your journey rests.

It’s the compass that ensures you keep showing up, day after day, ready to embrace the challenges and triumphs that come with each training session. Those ....

Become Your Best Self

As a plus-sized person and martial arts newbie, any gym or new activity can be daunting and BJJ is no different. From my first class with Hannah and Brandon, I felt empowered and ready to learn more. They are excellent at meeting students where they are physically while keeping the integrity of the skills and techniques intact, then encouraging more. The gym is always clean and comfortable. I appreciate the respectful, team atmosphere any time I step onto the mats. If you’re looking for a great grappling experience, definitely check Inception out.

Brandon and Hannah are great instructors! Whether you’re a beginner or experienced I highly recommend training with them.

I’ve been training with Brandon & Hannah for over a year now. They’re very knowledgeable and patient, which has been appreciated since I was brand new to jiu jitsu. As I’ve learned more, I appreciate the systematic approach of Brandon’s instruction where techniques build on the previous sessions. As far as application during live rolls, Brandon applies techniques in slow motion with superior positioning and attention to detail. I mention this as encouragement to people who are interested in BJJ, but worry they’re not “athletic” (fast, flexible, etc.) enough. You’ll definitely improve in those aspects, but they are not required to enjoy learning jiu jitsu.
