Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Club
The club was started by a CSUN alumnus and 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu instructor. After a two-year hiatus, the club was reformed and is now instructed by black belt Eric "The Darce Knight" Medina, under Jean Jacque Machado, and Jose "Animal" Arreguin, a brown belt under 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu. We strive to promote an active lifestyle, discipline, self-defense and new friendships through the “gentle art” known as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. We also participate in collegiate events in both gi and no-gi grappling; competing in tournaments is not required but encouraged!
Though the BJJ club has been around for years, we have recently become more popular due to our success in our competitions, placing 2nd overall in the nation in the 2025 NCGA Collegiate Grappling National Championship. With 7 available days of practice, we are more than compatible with every students' schedule, and welcome all skill levels, whether you are a seasoned grappler or a novice looking for a new way to workout.
