The academy offers comprehensive training programs for both adults and children. Adult programs include fundamentals classes in both Gi and No-Gi, advanced training, competition preparation, and specialty programs like Wrestling for Jiu-Jitsu and Judo for Jiu-Jitsu. For children, CJJA runs two age-specific programs: Lil' Pups (ages 4-6) focusing on coordination and self-control, and Bulldogs (ages 7-12) emphasizing Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling, and leadership skills. The academy is known for hosting "the Southeast's best Open Mats" on weekends, providing five hours of training across Saturday and Sunday with no politics, just rolls.
The coaching staff at CJJA includes head coach John Piper, alongside accomplished instructors like Dr. Jennifer "Dr.JenJitsu" Case (13x IBJJF Masters World Champion, BJJ black belt since 2016, PhD in Human Nutrition and Performance), and a team of over 20 dedicated coaches specializing in various aspects of Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling, and judo. The academy provides a unique On-Demand video service allowing members to review their rolls captured in 4K with multiple angles, helping students analyze and improve their technique.
