What We Are
Not a franchise.
Not a numbers game.
Subconscious Jiu Jitsu Association is a hand-picked community of full-time academy owners affiliated under Nic Gregoriades (4th-degree, Roger Gracie lineage) and Brent Burniston (4th-degree, Roger Gracie lineage). Both are regarded as world-class instructors. Both are invested in the success of every academy in the association — personally.

What Sets Us Apart
The Difference
01
We visit every affiliate. Every year.
Once a year, Nic or Brent fly to your academy for two days — a full seminar plus a hands-on review of your business systems and curriculum. Not a video call. Not a group event. They come to you.
02
The gold standard of BJJ lineage.
Roger Gracie is widely considered the greatest BJJ competitor of all time. Nic was the first black belt Roger ever promoted. Brent holds a 4th-degree under the same lineage. Two coaches. One unbroken line from the peak of the art.
03
Character first. Always.
We do not accept every applicant. The bar is clear: brown belt or above, full-time academy, character-driven. The community you are joining has been vetted.
Get Started
Affiliation starts with a conversation.
We don’t sell spots. We start with a call — to understand your academy and whether this is the right fit.
