The German word, “haus,” translates in English to “home.” At Jiu Jitsu Haus, everything we do comes back to that word. We believe that the atmosphere in which Jiu Jitsu is taught is just as important as the manner in which the techniques are executed. Jiu Jitsu Haus is home to a tight-knit community of martial artists who care for one another – both as athletes and as people. At our school, you’ll be taught the values that characterize a family: care, discipline, respect, loyalty, and sincerity.
Despite what many people think, Jiu Jitsu isn’t just about physical strength, powerful muscles, and amazing flexibility. In fact, if you want to succeed as a Jiu Jitsu practitioner, a strong mind is just as important as a strong body. That’s why Jiu Jitsu Haus places a huge emphasis on intelligence. At our academy, we believe that the brain is the most important part of an athlete’s body. Through self-control, patience, and dedication, we aim to do everything we can to build this muscle. In fact, take a closer look at our logo and you’ll see that for yourself!

Jiu Jitsu Haus was founded in November 2022 by Filipe Costa. While we may be new to the Jiu Jitsu world, our owner certainly isn’t. Filipe Costa began his martial arts training in July 2003 at the age of 16 in Brasilia, Brazil, under the well-known Juquinha team. Ever since his first martial arts class 20 years ago, Professor Costa has been in love with the industry. He moved to the United States in April 2010, competing on the West Coast before moving to the East Coast to pursue his dream of teaching Jiu Jitsu. He received his black belt in November of 2014 under Rafael Formiga Barbosa. He has since competed in both Brazil and the United States.
While Professor Costa loves to compete, he feels that his titles pale in comparison to his ability to share Jiu Jitsu with others. Whether a student is looking to compete internationally or simply develop a better lifestyle, Professor Costa takes the time to individualize their training plan to help them achieve their personal goals. He looks forward to expanding the Jiu Jitsu community not just in Brewster, New York, but around the world.
By pushing its participants to stay active, work new muscles, and set goals for themselves, Jiu Jitsu has the power to change lives.
When sparring, you have to make split-second decisions and perform under pressure. At Jiu Jitsu Haus, we teach skills that will keep your mind sharp.
Talent is nothing without hard work. Jiu Jitsu teaches students to challenge themselves, endure, and stay motivated.
Jiu Jitsu is a marathon, not a sprint. At our academy, we teach our students to keep going even when they don’t ace that technique on the first try.
Jiu Jitsu Haus is home to a community of instructors and athletes who love the martial arts and want to help one another succeed.
Jiu Jitsu Haus has everything… except you! Join our community today and begin your Jiu Jitsu journey!
