Lighthouse Jiu-Jitsu was founded by two coaches who share a vision of creating a training environment rooted in safety, positivity, and competition. After years of coaching and mentoring students, we recognized the need for a space where people of all ages could train with confidence, feel supported, and grow both on and off the mat.

Before opening Lighthouse, we helped build one of Michigan’s largest and most successful youth competition teams, guiding athletes from their first class to major tournaments across the country. That experience shaped our belief that great coaching goes beyond winning medals it builds discipline, resilience, and lifelong confidence.

Lighthouse was created to provide clear structure, strong mentor
ship, and a welcoming community where beginners feel comfortable and competitors are challenged to reach their highest potential. Our goal is to develop not only skilled athletes, but confident individuals and a team culture built on respect, accountability, and growth.
