KnuckleUp in North Carolina is the 1st USA Jiu Jitsu Charter School in NC
Only a few days after announcing that USA Jiu Jitsu members qualify for an exclusive Jiu Jitsu Insurance policy, KnuckleUp Fitness in the Outer Banks (NC) joins our growing family, and we want to welcome everybody from the OBX into USAJJ.
Morrison Butler, GM for KnuckleUp OBX, has been following USAJJ closely for a while, due to the growing demand for jujitsu classes in the Outer Banks. After a quick talk with USAJJ’s National Tournament Director and founder of KnuckleUp Fitness in Atlanta, Chris Stolzman, Morrison’s club becomes the 1st charter school in North Carolina.
According to Morrison, joining USAJJ was the best way to ensure his students are getting the most qualified support for their training, and a great opportunity for them to join a bigger jiu jitsu community (after all, there isnt much of a bjj scene in the Outer Banks of NC).
USA Jiu Jitsu approved badge
As a Charter School, they have access to a list of benefits that is constantly growing:
- $1 Million General Liability Insurance For Club, Staff, And Students
- Official USAJJ Certificate for their Head Instructor
- Head instructor competes for FREE at USAJJ National Tournament
- 1 free seat at the next Instructor Training Course
- Access to the official Jiu Jitsu International class curriculum
Plus, KnuckleUp OBX can now use the official USAJJ APPROVED badge, which lets students know they’re training with a qualified instructor. The badge is also beneficial to other USAJJ members when on the area, because they qualify for a $10 mat fee at any Charter school.
To all of the staff and students at KnuckleUp OBX, on behalf of the USA Jiu Jitsu organization, welcome!
