Who we are

Savage Citizens are everyday people, people like yourself who make the world a better place every day but also, have something inside them that needs to be let out. We are a community focused team working to help each other get better every day.

Our gym is certified through the IBJJF, which verifies the backgrounds of head instructors and requires they receive SafeSport and CPR training.

Our lineage

Savage Citizen Jiu Jitsu Academy is affiliated through Rodrigo Vaghi , a 6th degree black belt who taught at the original Gracie Academy in Brazil and was a student under Helio Gracie and his friend Rickson Gracie.
