Tom Supnet started his Jiu-Jitsu training in 1994 after watching the first Ultimate Fighting  Championship. His first year was under Lowell Anderson, a former instructor for Rorion  Gracie, one of the original founders of the UFC and the person responsible for  bringing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to the United States. 

Tom switched over to the No-Gi style of Jiu-Jitsu a year later under Craig Kukuk and started  teaching in Boise, Idaho in 2001. Craig Kukuk was the first american to recieve a Black Belt  from the infamous Gracie Family.

Boise Jiu-Jitsu was founded to address the need for a practical self-defense system here in  the Treasure Valley. For many years I had tried several traditional martial arts but didn't really come away with the confidence needed to defend myself if I really had to.  

After 2 years assisting in Mr Kukuk's classes, he decided to stop teaching so it was time for me to merge my passion for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with my favorite sport of Mixed Martial Arts. I created Boise Jiu-Jitsu to develop a No-Gi "Reality Tested" style that continually grows through hard work and innovation. We know what works for sport Jiu-Jitsu and what works for Mixed Martial Arts. With all seriousness aside, it's still a lot of fun!

You're welcome to stop by any time to watch a class or sign up. It's a fun, friendly environment and we accomodate any and all skill levels. You don't have to be an athlete at this school, but if you inspire to reach a high level, we can take you there too.

Thank You   ...Tom Supnet  208-631-0488
