Our School

Rivers Edge Jiu-Jitsu is an award-winning gym built on high-level training and a strong support system. Our coaches bring grit, energy, and purpose to every class, creating an environment where students are pushed to improve while still enjoying the process. We focus on more than just technique, training here is about building confidence, discipline, and the ability to handle challenges on and off the mat. Through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, Boxing, and Kickboxing, students develop real skills that carry into everyday life. Whether your goal is competition or personal growth, you’ll have the coaching and community to get there.

History

Josh Libolt, owner and head coach of Rivers Edge Jiu-Jitsu, got his start through a love of MMA that eventually quickly turned into a deep commitment to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. From there, he began competing, earning multiple local championships and continuing to sharpen his skills on the mats.

In 2023, Josh opened Rivers Edge Jiu-Jitsu and has been focused on growing the gym ever since – expanding into a larger space, adding more mat room and striking equipment, and building a strong, supportive community. His goal is simple: help every student who walks through the door improve physically, mentally, and emotionally through consistent training.
