Right in the middle of Hanover, there’s something pretty special happening at PQ Jiu-Jitsu. It’s not just about learning to throw a punch or mastering a kick; it’s about building a tight-knit community where everyone, kids and adults alike, can find their place, grow their confidence, and step up as leaders who’ve got more than just muscle.
See, martial arts is way more than what you see in movies. It’s about getting on a journey that teaches you the tough stuff — discipline, respect, and the kind of perseverance that sticks with you. Hanover, with all its energy and diversity, is the perfect backdrop for what we’re doing at PQ Jiu-Jitsu. We’re not just here to teach; we’re here to make a difference, helping our members become not only confident in themselves but also kind, smart, and ready to make good choices.
For the kiddos walking into our academy, it’s about giving them a boost in more ways than one. With all the stuff they face these days — think bullying or just the pressure to fit in — martial arts gives them a solid base of self-esteem and a big dose of respect for themselves and others. Our classes are all about showing them how sticking with something, even when it gets tough, can make them not just better at martial arts but better at life. They learn to tackle challenges with a smile and stand tall, knowing they can handle whatever comes their way.
And for the adults? Hanover can be a whirlwind, and PQ Jiu-Jitsu is that spot where they can catch their breath, connect with others, and work on being their best selves. It’s more than just breaking a sweat; it’s about finding a community where everyone’s on the same quest for self-improvement. Whether it’s about ditching stress, getting fit, or finding a deeper sense of purpose, our academy offers a path that’s about challenging your body, sharpening your mind, and feeding your soul. It’s where adults get to lead by example, showing up strong not just at the gym but in every part of their lives.
Here at PQ Jiu-Jitsu, we’re all about the power of martial arts to change lives. We keep things real, focusing on the whole you — body, mind, and spirit. Diving into martial arts with us means facing life head-on with a brave heart and an open mind. We’re proud to be the go-to spot in Hanover where people come to grow, leaders are made, and the community gets a little bit stronger every day.
So, if you’re in Hanover and looking for something more than just a workout, come check us out at PQ Jiu-Jitsu. Be part of our journey to not just learn martial arts but to be part of something bigger — a journey to being your most awesome self.

Chris is an excellent Jiu-Jitsu Coach for both kids and adults!
Had never tried jit-jitsu and so happy I did! This is a good workout and lots of fun! Instructor is patient and helpful to someone taking this on for the first time! Also highly recommend the kids classes!
My kids love it here. Instructors are compassionate and experienced. Would definitely recommend.
Amazing program with great instructors. My daughter just started their Tiny Titans classes at 3 years old and I am very impressed with their program. She’s on the shy side when it comes to group activities but they have been building her confidence. She is absolutely loving the class and the owner Chris and asks if we can go every day.
Great program. Chris is very patient and works well with the kiddo’s to develop skills and follow instructions.
All three of my kids absolutely love doing Jiu-Jitsu here with Chris! They are so great with the kids, and teach them important life skills while having fun and exercising their bodies. So happy to have our kids apart of the crew!
Great facility and awesome instructors. Very welcoming to both kids and adults who are new to jiu-jitsu.
Chris is great with the kids, teaching them respect and discipline while also making it fun and engaging. My two boys (3 and 4) wish they could go every day!
PQ Jiu Jitsu is a great place for your kids! They will burn some energy, learn self confidence and having character!
Chris and his coaches are top notch. It is a safe environment for my son to learn in a fun setting. I highly recommend PQ Jiu-Jitsu.
We love PQ Jiu-Jitsu! My daughter loves going and looks forward to her classes all week! 10/10
Instruction and facilities are top notch. Welcoming environment and friendly atmosphere, great for getting back into or just starting the sport.
PQ jiu-jitsu has my highest recommendation. If you are interested in jiu-jitsu, go! If your child is interested in jiu-jitsu, take them. Even if your child is not interested in jiu-jitsu, take them anyway – they will love it 🙂
Dropped in for an open mat and immediately Chris the owner was welcoming and showed us around. the mats and space were all very clean. when we first got there a kids class was just finishing and the kids and parents watching all had a good energy so it’s clearly very family friendly gym. for open mat some gyms are particular about gi or no gi – Chris instead was flexible and great about going back and forth between both. overall the experience and Chris were great and i would recommend this gym to others.
The facility is brand sparkling new and the head instructor has decades of experience in jiu-jitsu at every level. Highest recommendation for kids or adults!!!
Dropped into an open mat. Chris the owner was very welcoming and down for gi or nogi. It’s great to find local gyms whose owners appreciate cross training and are open to both gi and nogi. I’ll definitely be stopping by again and would recommend it to anyone interested in jiujitsu.
