The jiu jitsu Flushing drives for.

Why Flushing trains here

Flushing is close enough that the drive barely registers, a straight run east on Flushing Road. What you get at the end of it is a full-time academy led by competitive black belts, not a martial arts slot squeezed in beside other classes. For Flushing families who want the real thing nearby, this is it.

• Fifteen minutes down Flushing Road: It is a straight shot east on Flushing Road into Flint. No highway maze, no hour-long trek. Flushing members fold it into a normal weeknight and barely notice the drive after the first week.
• A real academy, full-time: This is a dedicated jiu-jitsu and kickboxing academy led by competitive black belts, open all week, not a martial arts slot tacked onto a fitness studio. The depth of instruction is the difference Flushing members drive for.
• Beginners belong here: Most people walk in having never grappled. Beginner-designated sessions focus on fundamentals and may run separately or with all levels. Tell your partner you are new, and ask a coach when you have a question.
