    What makes this Jacksonville BJJ program different?

    Our purpose is to share the love of Jesus and strengthen communities through athletics. BJJ is one way we put that purpose into practice: instruction emphasizes character, accountability and faith-based leadership, not only physical technique.

    The program serves kids, teens and adults. Scholarships are part of the effort to make instruction accessible to families. If cost is a barrier, include that in your inquiry rather than assuming training is out of reach.

    Who is Dr. Matthew Page?

    Dr. Matthew Page is The Good Fight Initiative's Executive Director, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt and Head Wrestling Coach at Trinity Christian Academy. On our Programs page he is also identified as Professor Matthew Page.

    That background connects our jiu-jitsu and wrestling work, while the nonprofit's mission keeps mentorship at the center. You can read about Dr. Page and the wider leadership team on our About page.

    Can a parent and child train on the same evening?

    The published schedule places the kids' class from 6:00 to 7:00 PM and the adult class from 7:00 to 8:00 PM on both Monday and Thursday. These are separate, back-to-back age groups, not a combined parent-and-child class.

    For Jacksonville families planning a school-night trip, that sequence is worth discussing with the team. Confirm current class times, arrival arrangements and whether both family members can enroll before making travel plans. The venue is the school's Dining Commons, not a standalone Good Fight gym.

    What should you ask before choosing a BJJ class?

    A useful comparison goes beyond a monthly price. Ask how the instructor will place you or your child, what equipment is needed, and how the class fits your weekly routine. Tell us about previous experience, if any, so the conversation starts with your needs.

    Current tuition, trial arrangements, uniform requirements and enrollment availability are best confirmed directly. We do not publish a guaranteed trial offer or a fixed membership price.

    • Share the participant's age and prior training.
    • Confirm the Monday/Thursday schedule and arrival instructions.
    • Ask about current tuition and scholarship options.
    • Check clothing, equipment and enrollment requirements before attending.

    Questions before you inquire

    Is BJJ training free?

    The BJJ program is described as affordable, with scholarships available. Tuition is not published. Free self-defense outreach seminars are a separate offering, not a promise that ongoing BJJ classes are free.

    Can I inquire if I have never trained?

    Yes. Tell us you are new to jiu-jitsu and include your age. The team can discuss class fit and preparation before you attend; no trial or space is guaranteed by this page.

    Is there a separate adult class?

    Yes. The published adult group is for ages 16 and older, Monday and Thursday from 7:00 to 8:00 PM. Confirm the current schedule with the team.

    Start a conversation.

    Tell us who wants to train, their age and experience, and any questions about tuition or scholarships. We will help you confirm the next step.
