Affiliate School - Snyder Dojo

 Independent Leadership. Unified Standards.

Snyder’s Dojo is an official affiliate school within the Kroyler Gracie Jiu-Jitsu association.

While independently owned and operated, Snyder’s Dojo follows the KGJJ core curriculum and teaching standards, providing students with structured, high-quality Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instruction aligned with the broader association.

Snyder’s Dojo is part of the KGJJ familia — connected by shared values, standards, and community.

Instruction and Curriculum

Training at Snyder’s Dojo is guided by the KGJJ core curriculum.

Students develop skills across positional control, escapes, submissions, transitions, and standing engagements. Instruction emphasizes sound mechanics, attention to detail, and long-term development rather than short-term results.

This consistency ensures students can train confidently within the KGJJ system while benefiting from local instruction and leadership.
