We are a Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu Academy serving the greater Alton, Illinois area. We offer Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes for kids/adults, kickboxing, MMA classes, self-defense classes for kids/adults, corporate self-defense team building/workshops, and we have a training program for L.E.O.'s and C.O.'s that is accepted by the state of Illinois for meeting "use of force" training requirements. We are affiliated with Watson Martial Arts in St. Louis and our competition affiliation for tournaments is with TacTeam BJJ. Our school is also a member of the Adopt-a-Cop BJJ Program, Rolling for Recovery BJJ program for veterans, and the BJJ Globetrotters organization. 

It is our continuing privilege to bring the martial arts we love to the people of the Riverbend area, including Alton, Godfrey, Bethalto, Wood River, East Alton, and beyond. Whether you want to learn some self-defense, competitive grappling, build confidence, get in better shape, or just de-stress at the end of your day, you will love our classes and workshops. We hope to welcome you soon to the Strategic BJJ Team! Let’s make the next part of your story a great one!
