The phrase “FIGHTING AS A FAMILY” is not only the motto of all the Dedeco BJJ locations, but it is also practiced daily. When you first step on the mats and try a class, you are not only learning from the highest level of BJJ instructors, but, you are family. Dedeco BJJ is always focused moving forward as well as giving back. A major part of the BJJ journey is for the advanced belts to always help the beginners. This is the best way to learn, teach, and grow as a team.

There is no such thing as an ego at any location. Dedeco BJJ promotes the passion to work hard, show respect, and be positive. The team and family mentality is what makes this school different from all the rest.

RESPECT YOUR ELDERS.

Be free like a bird, but be strong like a tree.

Keep your roots strong because the winds of changes always coming and go!
