North Las Vegas carries roughly 13 listed academies and contains some of the metro's most interesting affiliation threads. The Cobrinha network reaches into NLV via **Cobrinha Aliante**, where Professor Steve Taligatos (1st-degree black belt under Rubens "Cobrinha" Charles Maciel through Hector Vasquez) runs a full kids and adult program. **Underground Jiu-Jitsu 702** (Professor Ruben Delgadillo, black belt under Walter Fontes Vital Jr.) is a Cascão JJ Association affiliate founded in 2020 whose lineage traces directly to Carlson Gracie Sr. via Mario Sukata Neto; the gym publishes transparent pricing ($180/mo all-inclusive, no contract), runs Saturday open mat, and partners with the We Defy Foundation for adaptive veteran programming. **CJJF Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu**, led by Professor Aldo "Caveirinha" Januario, offers a structured progression from Keiki (ages 4–5) through adults with a free trial and homeschool class options. **Midgard Submission Grappling and Self-Defense** (Joe and Val Tussing, with Tiki Aquino as a contributing coach) distinguishes itself with a strong competitive wrestling team and a specialized neurodivergent training program for youth — one of the few such offerings in the metro. **Assassin Grappling Academy North** (Professor Jesse, veteran-owned, at 722 W. Carey Ave.) is the NLV half of a two-location operation that also includes an East Las Vegas site at Nellis Blvd., running BJJ alongside kickboxing and wrestling. **Uprising MMA** and **Kifaru Jitsu Academy of Martial Arts** fill out the city's martial arts map as smaller-footprint community gyms. NLV's scene is more independently oriented than Henderson or the central Vegas corridor, but the Cobrinha, Cascão, and CJJF anchors give it legitimate competition-track options.
