About Us

At Level Up Jiu-Jitsu, our mission is simple: to make this powerful martial art accessible to anyone willing to step on the mat. We are committed to providing a clean, safe, and structured training environment where beginners feel welcome and experienced practitioners can continue to grow.

Our approach to teaching is grounded in one principle—effectiveness. Jiu-Jitsu is unique in that it allows us to test techniques against a fully resisting opponent. There are no shortcuts or guesswork. Techniques either work, or they don’t. That built-in feedback loop is what makes Jiu-Jitsu one of the most practical and honest martial arts in the world.
Because of that, we focus on proven techniques—methods that have been refined and validated through competition in Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, and MMA. Rather than chasing trends or flashy moves, we prioritize fundamentals and high-percentage strategies that give our students real, reliable results. This allows you to build skill quickly, with a foundation that actually holds up under pressure.

Every student who walks through our doors has different goals, backgrounds, and starting points. That’s why we take a structured approach to development. From day one, we work to help you build a clear path forward—whether your goal is fitness, self-defense, competition, or simply learning something new.
We believe progress comes from consistent effort, smart training, and the right environment. If you’re willing to show up, put in the work, and trust the process, you won’t just train here—you’ll level up.

Our Location

Level Up Jiu-Jitsu is proudly hosted inside Pillar Fitness Monroe, conveniently located within the Mall of Monroe. The location is easy to access, with plenty of parking, making it simple to get in, train, and get on with your day. Our classes are held in a fully private training space, giving students a focused, distraction-free environment. Whether you’re brand new or experienced, you’ll have the room and structure needed to train safely and effectively.

We currently offer approximately 500 square feet of dedicated, padded mat space, complete with wall padding for added safety—all within a larger 1,500 square foot private training area. This allows for organized classes, technical drilling, and live training without overcrowding.

The facility is climate-controlled for year-round comfort and includes convenient bathroom access, so you can focus entirely on your training.

As our program continues to grow, we have plans to expand both our mat space and training schedule to better serve our students.
