Santa Barbara Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) and Combat SAMBO

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ)

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a modern self-defense system. It was designed specifically for a smaller or weaker person to overcome the strength of almost any opponent. At Valhalla, we focus on the students and offer classes at all levels. If you are interested in BJJ for exercise, self-defense, or to be a BJJ or MMA professional, we can help you achieve your goals! Valhalla is a proud member of the Carlos Machado family, one of the original families of BJJ.

Combat SAMBO

SAMBO is a Russian martial art that mixes wrestling with Judo. SAMBO is a Russian acronym for “samozashchita bez oruzhiya”, which translates to “Self-defense without weapons”. Combat SAMBO is more related to modern mixed martial arts, which adds strikingness to an already comprehensive self-defense style.
