Common questions from Gretna residents

Still have questions? Call (402) 319-5661 or email info@nebraskabjj.com.

Is the I-80 drive from Gretna manageable?

Yes. Most Gretna families come in around the evening commute and it's a clean 17-minute drive. Avoid peak rush if possible.

Can my child cross-train BJJ alongside wrestling?

Absolutely; wrestling and BJJ overlap on takedowns, top control, and athletic conditioning. Many of our Gretna kids do both.

Do you compete at IBJJF or local tournaments?

Yes; students who want to compete are supported with a competition track. Many of our Gretna students enter local tournaments throughout the year.

Are there family memberships?

Yes. Family pricing is reviewed in person after your free trial.
