Class Descriptions:
Jiu Jitsu Fundamentals
Jiu Jitsu Fundamentals emphasizes techniques and principles of Jiu Jitsu for self-defense. This class requires no experience or athletic ability, making it the perfect program for beginners. Those that participate in this class will be taught how to utilize technique, leverage, and energy efficiency to defend themselves against a potentially larger, more athletic aggressor.
Sport Jiu Jitsu
Sport Jiu Jitsu emphasizes techniques and concepts that can be utilized against another Jiu Jitsu practitioner. This class will cover a wide range of skill areas in Jiu Jitsu, including positional escapes, standing techniques, leglocks, guard passing and more. While live sparring will take place, safety, control, and skill development will be prioritized to provide a safe and structured training environment for all those who attend.
Junior Grapplers (Ages 9-12)
This class is designed to give your child the skills they need to build confidence, protect themselves and others from bullying, and have a positive experience with Jiu Jitsu!
