About Us
Our Story
New Journey Jiu Jitsu was established in 2019, our family owned academy has surmounted various challenges, notably navigating through the recent pandemic and other difficult hurdles, emerging from these trials more resilient and thriving. We remain dedicated to our community, strongly supporting the growth and development of kids, teenagers, adults, and professional Jiu-Jitsu athletes alike.
​
Owned by two devoted brothers, our academy is fueled by their profound passion for Jiu-Jitsu. Nathan, a professional engineer and an exceptional martial arts professor, brings forth a teaching style lauded by our students and visitors for its clarity and precision. John, known as 'John John,' embodies an unwavering discipline as a professional fighter and fitness enthusiast, securing numerous prestigious titles and championships. Our academy is owned and managed by our tight knit family. Together, our collective efforts embody the essence of the sport as we tirelessly work to bring Jiu-Jitsu to the forefront of our community.

Guided by the expertise of Professor Nathan McKain and John Goldsborough, both brothers have meticulously curated an outstanding curriculum for New Journey, setting it apart from any other. Their joint commitment has forged a unique path for our academy and an even better journey for our students.
Mission

Beyond teaching martial arts, our aim is to establish a safe sanctuary where individuals can find strength, resilience, and a supportive network to conquer life's obstacles. Our mission is to help build a brighter future by cultivating strong, healthy children, confident empowered teenage leaders, and aiding adults in maintaining fitness while learning crucial self-defense skills.
