"The ultimate aim of Jiu Jitsu is not about the win but to become a better person as a whole." - Helio Gracie
Watershed is a proud member of the renowned Fredson Paixao Association. We are deeply committed to sharing the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with integrity, humility, and honor. To us, Jiu Jitsu is more than just a martial art. It's a way of life.
Our academy is firmly rooted in the belief that efficiency, patience, and control are pivotal to success. Both on, and off the mats. We aspire to be a little better each day. To that point, our mission at Watershed is to help our students discover the many benefits of training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

Through training jiu jitsu, children learn various techniques and skills that can help them protect themselves in dangerous situations. Martial arts training emphasizes mental focus, situational awareness, and self-control. Kids are taught how to assess threats and respond appropriately, which can reduce the likelihood of becoming victims of bullying or other forms of aggression.
Training in martial arts can be a powerful tool for building confidence in kids. By engaging in this disciplined practice, children learn not only self-defense techniques but also the importance of perseverance, respect, and self-control. As they progress through different levels and master new skills, they experience a sense of accomplishment that boosts their self-esteem.
Amidst all the hard work and dedication, at Watershed we ensure that there is room for fun and enjoyment, making the journey both enriching and fulfilling. Moreover, martial arts training encourages physical fitness and improves coordination. This combination of physical accomplishment, mental discipline, and social support helps kids develop a strong, confident self-image that can positively impact all areas of their lives.
Kids learn to follow routines, set goals, and understand the importance of consistency. Moreover, the physical demands of martial arts require perseverance and resilience, teaching children to push through challenges and setbacks, ultimately fostering a disciplined mindset that benefits them throughout life.
We use a 'learning by doing' approach to teach Jiu Jitsu movements and technique. It may seem (and feel) like a lot of play, but through games and guided instruction our students can quickly develop skills and technique, and demonstrate the benefits of training Jiu Jitsu.
Beyond individual growth, martial arts also foster a sense of teamwork, allowing practitioners to form lasting friendships with like-minded individuals. Instructors and peers celebrate each other’s successes, fostering a sense of community and belonging.
Our newly renovated studio is located at the corner of Littlepage and Kirkland Streets, next to the Sunken Well Tavern. Plentiful and convenient on and off-street parking.
All will feel (and be) welcomed inside our clean, spacious, and comfortable facility. We value diversity and inclusivity, ensuring that everyone who walks through our doors feels respected and valued.
At Watershed Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, safety is our top priority. We maintain a clean and well-maintained facility and enforce strict safety rules during training. We also foster a supportive and friendly environment with the belief that people learn best when they are having fun.
