On TopJiujitsu
Get On Top. Stay On Top.
Jiujitsu without the ego. Physical problem-solving, good people, and a black-belt coach who meets you where you are.
No experience · No uniform · No commitment
THIS IS ON TOP
Less standing around.More figuring it out.
Jiujitsu is physical problem-solving. At On Top you learn by doing, with a real partner, a clear goal, and a coach who meets you where you are.
No experience? You’re exactly who we built this for. Most people on our mats started in the last two years, and every one of them remembers walking in for the first time.
A different way to train
WHAT CLA MEANS
A position.A goal.A partner who resists.
That is a constraints-led class. CLA, the Constraints-Led Approach, is a coaching method rooted in ecological dynamics: your coach sets the situation and the problem, watches what the room does with it, then changes the constraint.
You are not copying somebody else’s solution and hoping it survives contact. You find your own, live, against a partner who is genuinely trying to stop you, from your first round on your first day.
The same round scales to whoever is in it. A first-timer works on surviving a pin while a purple belt works on holding it without using their hands, so nobody is waiting and nobody is coasting.
How a class runs- A warm-up
- Three specific moves, drilled on a partner who is helping you
- A few live rounds at the end, if the clock allows
Nearer 20 minutes of real training
- No warm-up and no drilling
- Seven to nine live six-minute rounds
- Every round a position, a goal and a resisting partner
48 to 54 minutes of real training
On Top exists because Nick got tired of the first of those two hours. Meet the coach ↗

Nick Coletti
First-degree black belt · Head instructor
Great jiujitsu and great teaching are different skills. Nick brings both: over 16 years on the mats, 13 years of teaching, and a master’s degree in special education.
He started this academy because he was tired of the traditional hour: warm up, drill three moves, then try to roll. Coaching, instruction and the science of training are what he cares about most, and CLA is the part he will happily talk your ear off about.
The people make the place.
“He has a rare combination of jiujitsu mastery, deep teaching expertise, and the ability to make it all fun.”
“He truly cares about the progress of each of his students and is constantly putting the work in to stay on the cutting edge of BJJ instruction.”
“Coach Nick pushes people to improve without ever making it overwhelming, and every session feels purposeful.”
LET’S CLEAR A FEW THINGS UP
Do I need any experience?
None at all. You’ll join a structured, supportive class and participate from day one. Your coach adapts the tasks to your experience.
Do I need to get in shape first?
You can start at your current fitness level. Training helps you build strength, conditioning, and confidence over time.
What should I wear?
A clean t-shirt or rash guard and gym shorts. No zippers, buttons, or metal. Wear shorts over leggings or spats, and bring a water bottle.
How does the free class work?
