The Jiu Jitsu Sanctuary

Tired of the teenage shrug?

Jiu Jitsu gives teens more than fitness. It helps build discipline, respect, focus, confidence, and a real sense of belonging. On the mats, they learn how to show up, work with others, and grow through challenges.

Good habits. Good humans. A crew they can count on.

Message us today to get your teen started.

Being the “good kid” should never mean being an easy target. At The Jiu Jitsu Sanctuary, we help children build confidence, respect, focus, and practical self-defense—so their kindness stays a strength, not a weakness.

Welcome Coach Craig Edwards – Jiu Jitsu Instructor

We are thrilled to welcome Coach Craig Edwards to The Jiu Jitsu Sanctuary.

Craig Edwards discovered MMA in his late teens, which sparked his journey into martial arts. Over the years, he has earned black belts in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), Judo, and Kickboxing, and has competed professionally in MMA, gaining extensive experience both as a practitioner and competitor.

Since 2018, Craig has committed to coaching full-time, continuously challenging traditional coaching methods and developing his skills. His primary goal is to build real, effective skills within the community, giving everyone the opportunity to grow, flourish, and achieve their full potential.

We are excited to have Coach Craig bring his wealth of knowledge and passion for martial arts to our academy, and we look forward to the positive impact he will undoubtedly have on our team.

Welcome Coach Brad Missen – Jiu Jitsu Instructor

We are excited to have Coach Brad Missen as part of The Jiu Jitsu Sanctuary team.

Brad’s martial arts journey began at 14 with Muay Thai, then expanded into Kung Fu and weapons in his early 20s. At 25, he shifted focus to Jiu Jitsu, where he has now accumulated 11 years of training. He earned his Black Belt in 2024 under Lee Catling at PMA Academy, where he has been a coach since 2020.

In 2025, Brad had the opportunity to live and train in Spain at a Brazilian-run Jiu Jitsu gym under Head Coach Rafael Dos Santos. This experience enriched his teaching techniques and allowed him to connect with the global Jiu Jitsu community.

We are looking forward to the expertise, passion, and energy Coach Brad will bring to our academy. Please join us in giving him a warm welcome!
