The One and ONLY 5th Dimension Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Henry Akins: Hidden Jiu Jitsu
One of the most respected teachers in all of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, we're proud to call Henry Akins our instructor. As a Rickson Gracie Black Belt and a legend in his own right, come see why people flock to learn from Henry wherever he goes. We're the only facility outside of his home gym in Los Angeles, California where Henry creates, installs and implements his game changing curriculum.
Classes Designed To Support & Cater To Beginners, While Simultaneously Challenging and Stimulating Experienced Students
Whether you're a woman who has no jiu jitsu or martial arts experience or a parent who just wants their child to experience the benefits of discipline, hard work and confidence that goes with training brazilian jiu jitsu... there's a place for EVERYONE here at 5DBJJ
Strong Ties To The BJJ World
Between Henry and our coaches we have access to pretty much all of the major players in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Whether they're dropping in to guest teach or giving a seminar, the revolving door of Elite Practitioners you'll train with at the 5DBJJ studio is endless.
Our Dedicated Coaches
While Henry's away, our team of dedicated coaches walk you through the curriculum he meticulously lays out. Focused, Attentive, and Approachable, each bring's their own experience and is committed to helping you to get the most out of your training.
Our Awesome Members, Teammates & Family
At 5DBJJ we know that the most important part of training is our training partners, so we foster a friendly training environment that allows you to push your limits while keeping safe. Many of us are friends outside of the studio, and our open mat sessions often end up just an excuse to hang out. Come join our community!
Train with us for just one week, you won't have to take ANYONE's Word for how special 5DBJJ is... but until then, here's what our students think...
"Its The Best Damn Place..."
Its simple... its the best damn place to train in the entire verde valley. There's a reason world class black belts come to this facility to train and guest instruct. There's a reason why world famous Rickson Gracie Black Belt Henry Akins created the teaching curriculum here, there's a reason he chose THIS group of coaches and THIS facility for his first affiliate academy. Don't believe me... just come train with us for a week and you'll understand.

"5DBJJ Is A
GREAT One..."
I'm from out of town and have been to many BJJ gyms over the years. I've been to bad ones and I've been to great ones. 5DBJJ is a Great one. It's Clean, welcoming, inviting and supplies high quality jiujitsu to some of the most down to Earth and humble grapplers I've ever met. Looking forward to another trip real soon.

"I'm So Glad We Found
This Academy..."
I started Brazilian Jiu-jitsu about five years ago in Northern NY. My husband and I both love training and were sad to leave our jiu-jitsu family about a month ago when we moved to Sedona. We knew it was going to be tough to find a place as great as the one we were leaving.
One of the first things we did was look for a bjj gym when we got here. I'm so glad we found this academy. They have top notch instruction in a very clean facility. I highly recommend this gym to your entire family.
I could go on and on about the benefits of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu for men, women and children. See for yourself...try out a trial membership. In that short time you will see a difference in yourself both physically and mentally.
