Ares BJJ is about 25 minutes from Bennington, worth the drive for Black Belt-led Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in a serious training community.
Bennington is growing fast and parents here are increasingly looking for athletic programs that build discipline, confidence, and real skill. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu does all three, and Ares BJJ has the most trusted program in the metro.
Yes, the drive is longer from Bennington than from most areas. That's honest. Families who make the trip do it because the instruction is at a different level: Black Belt Prof. Ernesto James personally leads classes, and the kids program is structured around real progression.
From the Bennington HS / 156th & State area, take 156th south to West Dodge, then east on Dodge to 132nd or 120th, then south. About 25 minutes door-to-door on a normal drive.
Bennington areas we serve: Newport Landing, Falls Ridge, Reagan Heights, Highland Park.
