What makes Upper Twelve different?
We believe that Jiu Jitsu is a vehicle to maximize human potential, and use our curriculum and training methodologies along side our love of competition to foster an environment where students learn to set goals, develop the personal accountability, and work ethic to achieve. On and off the mat.
Our connection to the culture sets us apart.
We live the Jiu Jitsu lifestyle as martial artists, athletes, and educators. Always striving to learn, and become more than our current selves.
We are leaders and innovators in the industry.
From the way we present Jiu Jitsu as a formal education, push to accelerate and advance the technical level of our art.
As well as how we extend the reach of our brand through training apparel, streetwear, and various forms of print and digital media to further our priority to create art ahead of the more common marketing style aimed at lead generation.
We are passionate about our art, our students/athletes, and raising the level of Jiu Jitsu for the global community.
