Walked in nervous on day one and left smiling. The coaches actually teach — they don't just throw you to the wolves. Six months in and I'm hooked.

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.

Best gym in the Quad Cities. Mike's instruction is detail-obsessed in the best way. I came for self-defense and stayed for the community.

I've trained at three other academies. United Jiu Jitsu has the cleanest mats, the most welcoming culture, and the highest level of instruction. Hands down.
