About Albuquerque Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Mixed Martial Arts Academy

Albuquerque Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy was founded in 1996, by Professor William Carpenter, after nearly three decades of training in the martial arts. Professor Carpenter has been developing his teaching skills with both adults and children for the last 20 years.

We are a traditional Brazilian jiu-jitsu academy, with a strong emphasis on discipline, fitness, and overall health and well-being.

In the last ten years, with the surge in mixed martial arts (MMA)/ Ultimate Fighting style competitions throughout the world, and with the Professor's vast knowledge and experience in both the stand up and ground fighting aspects of martial arts, we began to focus on a well-rounded, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu-based-MMA curriculum.

Here at Albuquerque Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu every student gets personal attention they deserve. No one sits on the bench.

We offer students a wide variety of classes to choose from, including Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, MMA fundamentals, MMA for fighters, street combatives/self defense, and personal fitness training.

We continue to see numerous victories in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competition, as well as in the Mixed Martial Arts and cage fighting arenas.

We pride ourselves on our state-of-the-art training facility, which offers a clean, safe, friendly environment in which to train.
