Ares BJJ is about 10 minutes from Shadow Lake Towne Center and Werner Park, Papillion's closest Black Belt-led Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy.
Papillion is one of the fastest-growing communities in the metro, and families here want a serious Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program that's worth the drive. Ares BJJ is 10 minutes from Shadow Lake Towne Center, runs both Adult and Kids classes every week, and is led personally by Black Belt Prof. Ernesto James.
If you're west of Shadow Lake, the drive up 84th or 120th to Q Street is fast. If you're closer to Werner Park / Halleck Park, the route is even quicker. Either way, you're trading 10 minutes in the car for the most reputable BJJ training in the south metro.
From Shadow Lake Towne Center, take 72nd north to Q Street, or 84th up to Q; both routes hit our 120th & Q front door in about 10 minutes. From the Halleck Park / Werner Park area, expect 8 minutes via 120th.
