The academy is dedicated to changing lives one person at a time through martial arts, education, and coaching in a safe, comfortable, and welcoming atmosphere.

GroundControl offers a comprehensive BJJ program structure with classes designed for different experience levels. The Essentials program focuses on fundamental techniques for beginners, while the Intermediate and Advanced programs build on these foundations with more complex techniques and strategies. The academy also runs specialized programs including a Juniors BJJ program for children ages 7-14, open mat sparring sessions, and takedown-focused training.

The training philosophy at GroundControl emphasizes that martial arts can be for everyone, regardless of age, gender, or experience level. Students not only learn practical self-defense skills but also develop important life qualities such as perseverance, commitment, self-discipline, confidence, and respect. The academy maintains a family-friendly environment where parents are encouraged to watch or even participate, creating strong family bonds through shared martial arts training.
