About Motion City
Our School
Motion City BJJ’s curriculum is structured around individual improvement. We focus on each student’s growth and what techniques are most effective for their development. Every instructor builds a foundational understanding of core Jiu Jitsu concepts so students can apply techniques in their own way. Together we learn how to adapt and become the best version of ourselves, both in training and character development.
Our History
Motion City BJJ opened in early 2024 by a small but dedicated team. Aidan and Michelle used learnings from past BJJ academies to create a perfect environment. When creating Motion City BJJ, the vision was always to be all-encompassing and provide room for the curriculum to grow. We strongly believe that any motion improves your health and is good for your personal development. We have created a safe environment to train in New Brighton and will continue to strive to help everyone who walks through our doors.
