Shield BJJ is a center for learning the dynamic martial art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The dojo emphasizes that anyone can learn from anyone, fostering an inclusive environment where classes are not divided by age or experience. The focus is on enthusiasm and a willingness to try, rather than on belt rankings, which are seen as secondary to work ethic and practical skills. The instructor, Tim Burrill, trained under Carlos Machado and emphasizes active training, resistance drills, and situational practice. Classes prioritize mat time and encourage dialogue and collaboration among students, making it a unique place for personal growth in martial arts.
