The Future is Analog
Jiu Jitsu isn't
downloaded —
it's played.
Analog represents the human side of training. Pressure, timing, and connection — things you can't learn from a screen.
We use a modern, constraints-led approach that helps students learn through live training and exploration, building real skill that lasts.
Train smarter. Move better. Grow with intention. No reps for the sake of reps — every round has a purpose.
We would love to see you at any class that works for your schedule! All you have to do is walk in the door (which is arguably the hardest part) and we'll take care of the rest.
The way we run our classes means that no matter what level you are - total beginner to seasoned black belt - you will be able to easily follow along and you'll have a blast. We base our instruction around task focuses, meaning that you don't need to understand jiu jitsu to be able to learn and have fun.

Originally from El Paso, he has known Rudy for nearly 30 years. Outside the gym, he's a storm chaser with a long history in the music industry — from promoter to spending eight years managing hip hop artists on the road.
Movement, rhythm, and energy have always been part of his world — on the road, in the weather, and now on the mats.

Shortly after, he started training judo under Tyrus Cox and currently holds a green belt while also being a member of the famed Kodokan Institute. He has had some success in competition, but his favorite part about training is getting to interact with the jiu jitsu community and dropping into new gyms whenever he is on the road.
Nick leads some of our morning sessions and is looking forward to facilitating a great start to your day with jiu jitsu. Off the mats, Nick works in tech and is an avid outdoorsman.

Muay Thai Instructor
Ronaldo Quan has been practicing martial arts for 24 years, focusing mainly on striking. An amateur boxing champion in El Salvador with over 40 matches, he has also competed in MMA, Kickboxing, and Muay Thai.
Martial arts is his life, and he is passionate about teaching and helping others learn and grow in the sport.
It is a martial art that focuses on taking your opponent to the ground, controlling them via a series of pins and holds, and finally applying a submission hold. The art prioritizes technique and leverage over strength and athleticism. It can be used for both sport grappling and self-defense situations.
Thai boxing is also known as the "art of the 8 limbs." It utilizes strikes with the fists, elbows, knees, and shins. Fighters throw punches, kicks, elbows and knees. Fighters grapple in standing clinches. Fighters use foot sweeps to knock their opponents down. Muay Thai is highly effective for self-defense scenarios. Its also an intense workout.
No need, you'll get in shape over time. The classes are movement and cardio based. Coupled with a proper diet you will naturally get in shape and your cardio will increase. Its a fun and dynamic workout on top of it all.
The way we run our classes means that no matter what level you are - total beginner to seasoned black belt - you will be able to easily follow along and you'll have a blast.

Jiu Jitsu originated in Japan where the "Gi" or "Kimono" was prevalent in the martial art scene. It is a martial arts uniform that can withstand the constant throws and material gripping required by Jiu Jitsu. As Jiu Jitsu integrated with Mixed Martial Arts and self defense it made more sense to simulate these situations in rash guards and shorts. This is known as "No Gi" and is our sole focus at Analog.
A t-shirt and athletic shorts or leggings are fine for the first class. Eventually, you will want at least 1 rash guard and grappling shorts and spats. But we can help you with all of that after your first class.
It's important to take care of yourself and your teammates. Make sure you wash your gear as soon as possible after class, keep your finger and toenails trimmed, and please no shoes on the mat
