KnuckleUp Fitness now carries the USA Jiu Jitsu badge

We are proud to announce that KnuckleUp Fitness Outer Banks has become the first USA Jiu Jitsu charter school in North Carolina.

USAJJ is a non-profit organization founded by some of the most respected and distinguished participants in Jiu Jitsu over the past 50 years.

USAJJ seeks to establish Jiu-Jitsu in the United States as an official amateur sport, to provide a governing body, to standardize rules for tournaments and set standards for promotions.

They also seek to provide guidance to individuals wishing to participate in the sport, either as operators of schools & academies or students just wanting to learn.

The organization helps foster relationships among those individuals and companies providing products and services to the Jiu-Jitsu community. The idea is to make the sport approachable and available to everyone.

According to KnuckleUp's GM Morrison Butler and USAJJ Membership Director Chris Stolzman, the benefits that current students of KnuckleUp will receive as part of the USAJJ organization include:

• Belt certification by USAJJ Black Belt Council
• Accident medical insurance - All youth and adult members of a USAJJ Charter School are covered while participating in sponsored activities. A member is also covered while traveling, directly and without interruption, to and from any Policyholder sponsored activity and his or her home or place of residence. Coverage is $100,000 per accidents with a $250 deductible.
• Access to the official USAJJ class curriculum
• $35 tournament entry fee - $49 off the regular entry fee
• And a nationwide $10 fee to take classes at other member schools around the country!

An added bonus for KnuckleUp Fitness’ membership is a $1 million dollar general liability insurance for the club, staff, and students.

The policy defends schools against claims of bodily injury liability, property damage liability and the litigation costs to defend against such claims. Coverage is provided up to $1,000,000.00 per occurrence with a general aggregate amount of $2,000,000.00. That just gives KnuckleUp members extra piece of mind while training at the gym.

We're always working to provide you with the best! We are excited by the opportunities presented by our membership, and we believe this will benefit both the staff and students at KnuckleUp.

We also look forward to helping to further the goals of USA Jiu Jitsu and promote and encourage people from all walks of life to participate and enjoy the sport of Jiu-Jitsu.
