🔥 The Jersey Connection Behind the Mats

Before Michael Rentz became a fixture on the mats at Houzn Jiu Jitsu Academy, his journey began eight years ago in Rockaway, New Jersey, under Andy and Mike Main. In a beautiful twist of mat fate, Houzn’s Head Professor, Rafaello Oliveira, was close friends with Andy Main from their grueling UFC preparation camps in Whippany, NJ. Years later, that shared lineage of authentic, high-level martial arts reunited right here in Mount Pleasant. Whether you are an absolute beginner or an advanced belt looking for an authentic training home, you are stepping into a deep legacy of credible, world-class instruction. Come experience it for yourself—book your trial class today!
