Welcome to Syros Jiu-Jitsu
About Us
Syros Jiu-Jitsu club was established in 2023 by 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu black belt Alex Manousos.
We offer all levels no-gi grappling and MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) classes 5 days a week.
MMA stands for Mixed Martial Arts. It is a full-contact combat sport that combines striking, wrestling, and grappling — including Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) — to gain the upper hand over an opponent.
Start Your Journey Today! The hardest part is walking through the door for the first time. We make that first step as easy as possible with a free trial class for all new students — no experience required, no contract, no pressure.

What Is Jiu-Jitsu?
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a ground-based martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling, joint locks, and choke holds. Rooted in the principle that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend themselves against a larger opponent through superior technique and leverage, BJJ has become one of the most effective and widely practised martial arts in the world.
Unlike striking-based arts, Jiu-Jitsu allows you to train at near-full intensity with a partner in a safe, controlled environment — making it one of the most honest and practical martial arts you can learn. Every roll is a live problem-solving exercise, and every session leaves you sharper, stronger, and more confident than before.
