ABOUT MOJO DOJO • MATAMORAS, PENNSYLVANIA
From your very first class to the world's biggest competition stages, the journey starts with a team that believes in you.
COME MEET YOUR TEAM →THIS IS MOJO DOJO
We believe great Jiu Jitsu and a welcoming academy belong together.
Mojo Dojo Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a family-oriented martial arts academy in Matamoras, Pennsylvania, where kids and adults come to learn, challenge themselves, and build lasting connections. We take pride in the quality of our training and the character of the team around it.
People walk through our doors for different reasons: to feel more confident, learn self-defense, get active, or test themselves in competition. What brings us together is the commitment to keep showing up, help one another improve, and become a little better than we were yesterday.
Here, your goals matter. So does the way we help you reach them.
YOUR FIRST DAY BELONGS HERE
Never trained before? You are exactly where you should be.
Starting something new can feel intimidating. At Mojo Dojo, being a beginner is an opportunity to learn, never a reason to feel out of place. You do not need to know the terminology, own a collection of medals, or be in peak shape to take your first step.
We value questions, patience, and steady progress. Our instructors help students build an understanding of the fundamentals, and our training culture encourages teammates to support one another along the way.
For a child discovering confidence or an adult trying Jiu Jitsu for the first time, the goal is the same: feel welcome, learn something meaningful, and find a reason to come back.
MAKE YOUR FIRST CLASS HAPPEN →HIGH STANDARDS. SHARED KNOWLEDGE.
We welcome beginners—and we have also trained IBJJF world champions.
That range reflects what we value: a deep respect for the art, attention to the details, and a commitment to helping students develop. High-level Jiu Jitsu begins with understanding why a technique works, recognizing the right moment to use it, and refining it through consistent practice.
At Mojo Dojo, training is about building a game with substance. Positioning, leverage, control, escapes, and thoughtful problem-solving give students a foundation they can continue to build on. For experienced practitioners, there is always another layer to explore and another challenge to work through.
You do not have to compete to belong here. Whether you want to grow as a competitor or simply become more capable and confident, you can bring your goals into a room that takes improvement seriously.
ONE TEAM. ONE FAMILY.
The people beside you make the training matter.
Jiu Jitsu asks us to trust one another, communicate, and work together. Those habits shape the culture of Mojo Dojo. We want students to feel seen, parents to feel welcome, and families to feel connected to the academy.
We celebrate the big milestones and the quieter victories: a child finding the courage to participate, a beginner connecting a technique for the first time, or a teammate returning after time away. Progress looks different for everyone, and every step deserves respect.
Our roots are in this community. Our purpose is to give people a place to grow within it. On the mats and beyond them, we believe in showing up for our team.
OUR VALUES IN ACTION

OUR COMMUNITY COMMITMENT
At Mojo Dojo, being a family means carrying our values beyond the academy. The respect, resilience, and care we practice on the mats also shape how we support our neighbors. We believe a strong community grows when people come together with understanding and a shared purpose.
Every year, we partner with Cultivate Collective for Battle for Autism, our annual charity event supporting autism awareness. This event reflects something central to Mojo Dojo: our team is about more than individual achievement. It is about using the connections we build through jiu jitsu to contribute to the community we call home.
In 2026, Mojo Dojo was recognized by Pike Autism Support Services (PASS). We are proud of that recognition and grateful for the people and partnerships that make this work possible.
Whether you train with us, cheer on our students, or join us through a community event, there is a place for you in the Mojo Dojo family.
LEARN ABOUT BATTLE FOR AUTISM →OUR AFFILIATION
Mojo Dojo Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is affiliated with Master Carlos Henrique, whose school is based in Mount Sinai on Long Island.
Master Carlos also visits our academy to lead seminars, giving our students opportunities to learn directly from him and deepen their understanding of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. These experiences bring our team together around a shared commitment to learning, refining technique, and growing on the mats.
