Who We Are

More Than a Gym —
A Community.

United Jiu Jitsu is the Quad Cities' home for serious Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu — based in East Moline, IL, with students coming in from Moline, Rock Island, Silvis, Bettendorf, and Davenport. Whether you're stepping on the mats for the first time or preparing for your next competition, our doors are open.

We teach BJJ the right way — fundamentals first, technique over strength, and a safe, respectful training environment for everyone. Our curriculum covers traditional Gi, No-Gi, self-defense, and competition training.
