Vacanti Jiu Jitsu offers Gracie/Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) Fitness in a patient, non-competitive learning environment. Our goal is to provide everyone the opportunity to learn our art in a safe environment and to enhance their lives with fun and challenging ways to stay healthy and fit.
Our Jiu Jitsu program is run by head instructor Tim Hart and owner Pat Vacanti. Both have earned their belts by training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu under Phil and Ricardo "Rick" Migliarese. Phil and Rick, of Team Balance, have both earned their black belts under the instruction of Relson Gracie, the son of Gracie/Brazilian Jiu Jitsu founder, Grandmaster Helio Gracie.
Pat also is the head instructor of our MMA Fitness program. In addition to his Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Purple Belt he holds a Black Belt in Tang Soo Do.
We "Build Confidence Through Achievement" and provide an environment conducive to positive relationships, fostering self-discipline,self-confidence, and self-respect.
