About Team Bundy Jiu-Jitsu
A Gracie Jiu-Jitsu academy in Warren, Ohio — real self-defense for kids, teens, and adults, taught one class at a time.
Serious about the craft. Easy to start.
Team Bundy teaches authentic Gracie Jiu-Jitsu — the gentle art of using leverage and technique, not size or strength, to defend yourself. It's a craft we take seriously, taught on a mat where beginners feel at home from day one.
Our academy is led by Professor Jim Bundy, a 3rd-degree Gracie Jiu-Jitsu black belt under 8th-degree coral belt Master Pedro Sauer, who has trained in the martial arts since 1987. His goal is simple: to exceed every student's expectations in character, curriculum, and the experience on the mat.
Whether you're a parent looking for confidence and discipline for your child, a teen who wants a real challenge, or an adult after self-defense and fitness — there's a place for you here.
