LEARN REAL BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU
GI AND NO-GI JIU JITSU
TRAINING AT BTT CHARLOTTE
STUDY THE ART.
BUILD YOUR GAME.
At BTT Charlotte, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is taught as a connected system, not a collection of random techniques.
Our training is grounded in strong fundamentals, technical detail, purposeful repetition, and live application. Students learn to understand position, pressure, timing, movement, and the decisions connecting one technique to the next.
Beginners learn the art correctly from the beginning. Experienced practitioners continue discovering how much more the art holds.
LEGACY JIU JITSU, CARRIED FORWARD.
Brazilian Top Team was founded in Brazil in 2000 and built its international reputation through the Carlson Gracie lineage, technical innovation, and success at the highest levels of competition.
Professor Guto carries that knowledge forward in Charlotte, teaching authentic Brazilian Top Team Jiu Jitsu with the depth, discipline, and standards passed down by the masters before him.

TRAINING JIU JITSU AT BTT CLT
TECHNICAL JIU JITSU
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a grappling martial art built around leverage, positioning, control, escapes, and submissions.
Students learn to solve physical problems, remain composed under pressure, and control an opponent without punching or kicking.
GI TRAINING
The Gi is the traditional Jiu Jitsu uniform. The jacket and pants can be gripped to control posture, movement, and position.
Gi training develops detailed grip work, patience, pressure, and precise control.
NO-GI TRAINING
No-Gi training uses a fitted rash guard and shorts or spats. Students control the body directly through wrist control, underhooks, head position, body locks, pressure, and movement.
No-Gi exchanges are often faster, with more frequent transitions.
UNLIMITED TRAINING. GI AND NO-GI.
Membership includes unlimited access to the appropriate scheduled classes. We recommend training both Gi and No-Gi for a more complete understanding of Jiu Jitsu. Options vary by agreement length. Current pricing is reviewed in person.

THE NEXT STEP IS YOURS
ARE YOU READY TO SEE WHAT YOU’RE CAPABLE OF?
Jiu Jitsu will challenge your body, your thinking, and your ability to stay composed under pressure.
Through the work, you will build more than technique: discipline through consistency, confidence earned through skill, resilience when things feel difficult, and a team committed to your progress.
You do not need to know how far you can go. You just need to begin.
