Quick Launch

Welcome to the Basulto Academy of Defense ​
team-bad.gifWestern North Carolina's source for authentic Black Belt instruction in RGDA Gracie Jiu Jitsu by certified and trained instructors.   Basulto Academy has been training people in self-defense tactics for over a decade.  TEAM BAD is not just an acronym for Basulto Academy of Defense. It is also a philosophy of self-discipline in "BAD" situations and circumstances. It is a moniker for a group of people committed to a certain perspective on training and developing martial skills; a perpetual search for immersion in difficult and "BAD" training scenarios to hone the mind, sharpen skills and temper the body. Befriending fear and the uncomfortable is a prerequisite for understanding self-preservation.​ ​
