n 2017, Jake Sevits was introduced to jiu jitsu by fellow "Old School Jiu Jitsu" founder, Kyle Rogers. They began training in Kyle's garage on a 10' x 10' square mat section. In April 2019, they moved into an old school, where they rented the gymnasium. They purchased two sections of a competition wrestling mat that they rolled out before training and rolled back up and pushed under the stage at the end of the night. In November of 2020, they purchased the building where "Old School Jiu Jitsu" now resides.

At "Old School Jiu Jitsu", the culture favors growth as a team, rather than solely as an individual - community over all else. If you walk in the doors and try your best, rest assured, you will be welcomed and encouraged by your teammates and instructors.
