ABOUT
Brazilan Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art, combat sport, and a self defense system that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting. BJJ was formed from Kodokan Judo ground fighting (newaza) fundamentals that were taught by a number of individuals including Takeo Yano, Mitsuyo Maeda and Soshihiro Satake. BJJ eventually came to be its own art through the experiments, practices, and adaptation of the judo knowledge of Carlos and Hélio Gracie, who then passed their knowledge on to their extended family.
PROGRAMS
KIDS CLASSES
We are happy to offer Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for kids. They will learn the most effective self defense while also learning respect and discipline, all while having fun! Our kids classes are broken down by age groups and run by our black belt instructors. The program is designed to flow seamlessly into the adult program when the child gets old enough, keeping them from getting bored or outgrowing the art.
ADULT CLASSES
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is our life blood and a majority of our classes are dedicated to it. We offer a wide range of group classes that cater to different skill levels. From easy access Beginner /Self-Defense classes to being able to practice against others in our Intermediate classes. We also offer Advanced classes for those ready to fight competitively.
