At Sleeping Beauty Jiu-Jitsu, our mission is simple: to make Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu more accessible, welcoming, and enjoyable for everyone here in Palmas del Mar and across Puerto Rico.

We believe jiu-jitsu is more than just a sport. It’s a lifestyle — a way to improve your health, sharpen your mind, and build lifelong friendships on and off the mats. And there’s no better place to live that lifestyle than here in Palmas del Mar.

🌴 Why Palmas del Mar?

Palmas del Mar is already known for its breathtaking beaches, active lifestyle, and sense of community — and we think it’s the perfect place for jiu-jitsu to grow. Whether you’re a local looking to get healthier, a visitor on a surf or golf trip looking to try something new, or a seasoned grappler planning a BJJ retreat, Palmas offers the perfect balance of relaxation and intensity.

We see Palmas becoming a destination for BJJ retreats and seminars — where people from all over the world can come train hard, recover by the ocean, and experience the warm hospitality and natural beauty of Puerto Rico.

🥋 Our Vision for Jiu-Jitsu in Puerto Rico

Jiu-jitsu in Puerto Rico is on the rise. We’re proud to be part of a growing movement of gyms, coaches, and students who care about doing things the right way:
✅ Respect for our training partners
✅ Commitment to technique and safety
✅ Creating a positive and drama-free environment
✅ Making the art accessible to women, kids, and newcomers

We believe the more people in PR experience jiu-jitsu, the more they’ll discover how much it can change their lives — improving fitness, confidence, resilience, and community ties.

💪 What We Stand For at Sleeping Beauty BJJ

At our core, we’re here to help you become a better version of yourself — physically, mentally, and socially.

• Better Fitness & Cardio: Burn calories, build strength, and feel more energetic.
• Mental Clarity & Confidence: Learn to stay calm and focused under pressure.
• Friendships for Life: Meet people who will push you, support you, and grow with you.

We skip the politics and ego that sometimes cloud the martial arts world. Our culture is built around collaboration, not competition. Everyone who walks through our doors is welcome.
