ABOUT US

Temple Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was founded in January 2020 by Professor Lucas Meleep.

We focus solely on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu — so our students receive the highest quality instruction in one art.

Our mission is to provide world-class teaching and inspire people to be the best version of themselves. BJJ builds strength, resilience, and confidence, helping students achieve their goals both on and off the mats. Whether your aim is to reduce stress, improve fitness, learn self-defence, or compete at a high level, there’s a place for you here.

We are committed to fostering a family-friendly environment that welcomes anyone with a positive attitude and a willingness to learn.

We believe that through BJJ it is possible to revive important values often overlooked in today’s society — discipline, respect, perseverance, and humility. These values not only create better martial artists, but better humans, and ultimately, a better world.

WHY JIU-JITSU?

It’s not just a sport. It’s a lifestyle. the benefits of BJJ go further than a healthy and strong body. By challenging yourself every day it helps to build up your confidence and creates a strong mindset that will help you to achieve whatever goals you have in life.

Many people start training BJJ as a hobby and it changes their life for the better. its not only a full body workout that improve your endurance and flexibility. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instills confidence, positive attitude, patience and determination into every one of its students. it changes your way of thinking, gives you problem solving skills and improves your processing and decision making and helps you to be comfortable when under pressure.

There is no cheating in BJJ, the only way to get better is to train more and show up. there is no shortcuts. there are no privileges. On the mats we are all the same, regardless of your social position, skin color, faith and beliefs.
