We believe that BJJ was made for the warriors and the artists. We believe that every obstacle can teach you something new. The Kimura team set out to develop a platform that mirrors this philosophy.

Our Core Values

Kimura is built the warriors and the artists.

“Fear doesn’t go away. The warrior and the artist live by the same code of necessity, which dictates that the battle must be fought anew every day.”


Steven Pressfield

Memory is a Muscle

Memory is like a muscle—it requires consistent training to maintain and grow. Just as you rigorously train your sweeps and submissions, you must equally train your mind to retain, recall, and perfect each technique. Cultivate a disciplined mind to keep your skills sharp and your techniques precise.

Hours on the Mat

BJJ mastery will not be the result of technology, but rather hours spent on the mat. We believe in the power of dedication and consistent practice as being the path to mastery. BJJ teaches that improvement comes from hours of dedicated mat time. Embrace the journey, and the results will follow.

Obstacle is the Way

Humility is essential in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Accepting that there is always more to learn, that challenges and failures are opportunities for growth, keeps you grounded and motivated. Stay humble, stay committed, and let every obstacle teach you something new. Each thing that seems to be blocking the path to improvement is itself the path to success.
