Our History:

Owner, coach Fred Capell opened Union City Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu’s doors in 2020. He opened to serve the Jiu-Jitsu community and build up the BJJ community in Union City. Coach Fred has done that as he’s strived to build champions on and off the mats. In over a decade of training, Jiu-Jitsu has taught coach Fred that, in order to be successful and a champion, you must learn to deal with hardships and failures before you can learn to win. Coach Fred has used these life lessons to thrive on and off the mat, becoming a multi-time IBJJF champion including: Pan Ams Gold Medalist, Pan No Gi Medalist, and No Gi World Medalist.
