Our History:
Owner Jason Althiser first started his martial arts journey in 2012. After just one year of training, he was already beginning to teach Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. With a decade of instruction under his belt, Jason opened the doors to Electric City BJJ in June 2023 with a goal to give back and help the local community. Jason has taken many strides to improve the community, through efforts like fundraisers or simply improving the lifestyles of his students. As he navigates the early years of owning a Jiu Jitsu academy, he is continuously inspired by the Electric City BJJ family and the growth of his students.

Electric City BJJ
Striking / Muay Thai
With a long history in warfare and rich cultural roots, Muay Thai is the national sport of Thailand. This discipline sets itself apart from other martial arts due to its distinctive style of boxing. (Teens/Adults)
Electric City BJJ
Judo
Here at Electric City BJJ, we feel that Judo should align with its Japanese translation, “the way of gentleness.” Though Judo is an intense martial art that requires great endurance and strength, it should be practiced in an orderly way that honors and protects everyone involved.
