Western Plains Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Western Plains Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Western Plains Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is Gillette's largest and longest established Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training academy in Gillette. Hope to see you all soon!

Western Plains Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu provides precision instruction of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, clean facilities, and an excellent environment and community to train and grow for all ages and skill levels. We began in 2013 with small handful of students and have consistently grown year after year. We are a Gracie style Jiu-Jitsu school teaching both self defense and sports Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, with a di

rect lineage to Grandmaster Helio Gracie. With this lineage, we have access not only to our local instructors, but also a deep stable of additional instructors from all areas of the U.S. that frequent our school for additional perspectives and training. Seminars are common with WPBJJ to provide a deeper understanding of techniques and concepts. In addition to being an ever growing academy, WPBJJ also hosts the largest Brazilian Gi and No-Gi Tournament in the area every fall, the Western Plains Open. Schools from around the region attend this event to test their skills against other students and lift up the entire sport as a whole. We are located 900 EZ Street in a brand new facility. This training facility features almost 1600 square feet of seamless mat space. Our primary instructor, Professor Miles Fortner started his training while attending the University of Wyoming in 2007, eventually earning his blue belt in 2009. Miles continued his training under Jose Reyes and earned his purple belt in 2012 while attending chiropractic school in Dallas, Texas. Miles was awarded his brown belt in 2016. On August 15, 2021, Miles was promoted to Black Belt by Professor Robert Wunderlich. Lineage: Helio Gracie > Carlos Gracie Jr. > Rigan Machado > Dave Ruiz > Robert Wunderlich > Miles Fortner

Western Plains Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is affiliated with Certified Rigan Machado Black Belt Robert Wunderlich, owner and head instructor of The Academy of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Arvada. We also have a sister school in Rock Springs, Wyoming (Wyo Faction). Contact Miles Fortner or message this page for any additional information and come in and give BJJ a try!

Big congratulations to Professor Miles Fortner on having his latest research accepted for publication in a peer-reviewed medical journal.

The study looked at chronic low back pain, spinal alignment, and long-term results from postural rehabilitation.

Why does this matter to athletes and grapplers? Posture converts to power!

Understanding how the spine moves and handles stress can help with:

• staying healthy
• reducing injuries
• recovering better
• continuing to train at a high level over time

At WPBJJ, we believe training hard matters, but training smart matters too.

Proud to have leadership that brings together high-level coaching, athletics, and real research.
