A Chat with Tyshon Johnson Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?
Certified black belt instructor registered with the IBJJF, United States Judo Federation. Safe, organized, curriculum-based teaching to help promote steady learning at each student’s own pace.

Is your location strictly for adults, or can kids participate as well?
We start our students at ages four and up.

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?
I was raised in martial arts and I understand the improvements they made to my health, focus, and drive in life. I want to share that with as many people as possible.

What do you love most about your job?
Teaching kids. As a father of three, I love seeing kids active in sports and also able to conduct themselves well in everyday life. I often see my students helping others and using the focus and self-control they learn from our academy in other areas such as school and other sports.
