Western Plains
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

The best Self-Defense Academy For men, women & children

Western Plains Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is one of the largest and the longest-established Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) training academies in Gillette and Northeast Wyoming. Our mission is to bring all walks of life together in an environment where they can gain self-confidence, learn self-defense skills, and achieve mental and physical health. We do this with an outstanding staff in a state-of-the-art training facility.

We began in 2014 with a small handful of students and have consistently grown each year. We are a Gracie-style Jiu Jitsu school teaching both self-defense and sport Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, with a direct lineage to Grandmaster Helio Gracie. With this lineage we have access not only to our local instructors, but also a deep stable of additional instructors from all areas of the U.S. who frequent our school for additional perspectives and training.

Seminars and other special events are common with WPBJJ to provide a deeper understanding of techniques and concepts. Click here to find upcoming events.
