Private Lessons
If you’re brand new to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, or just aren’t comfortable in an open class setting, Black Diamond offer private BJJ instruction to our members by appointment.

This program is designed to ease the transition from private classes into our more social ‘standard’ classes. Depending on the student, we can work on beginner to expert-level skills. Learn more…
