Meet our instructor

Artūrs Kozlovskis is a certified Gracie Jiu-Jitsu® instructor under Ryron and Rener Gracie.

Realizing at the young age that he wants to dedicate his life helping people, Artūrs worked in different service jobs. When he was introduced to Gracie Jiu-Jitsu® and experienced its life-changing benefits, Artūrs knew he wanted to share this with his community by opening a Certified Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Training Center® in Riga. Artūrs’ passion is not only helping people by teaching them jiu-jitsu, but also empowering them to help themselves through the many benefits of jiu-jitsu.

The benefits of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu®

Health and fitness

Gracie Jiu-Jitsu® is a healthy lifestyle that, combined with the fun workouts on the mat, will dramatically improve your fitness and overall health. Remember, you don’t need to get in shape to do Jiu-Jitsu, you do Jiu-Jitsu to get in shape!

Confidence

You’ll have a new belief in yourself that comes from the confidence you’ll gain through jiu-jitsu. This confidence transcends sport and impacts every area of your life because it helps you believe in your ability to succeed in anything you try.

Self-defense

The popularity of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu® has exploded since it was used to dominate the first Ultimate Fighting Championships. Today, it is a core skill of all mixed martial artists and is known as the world’s leading, most effective methods for practical self-defense.

Community

Because you learn alongside training partners, you’re never alone. Training at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Riga means you will be in a welcoming environment, surrounded by a driven, positive, and supportive community to help you reach your goals.
