Brazilian Jiu-jitsu (or BJJ) is a self defense system developed by the Gracie family of Brazil that has revolutionized the martial arts world.  BJJ allows a smaller weaker individul to defend against larger stronger opponents using leverage, flexibility and the ability to turn an opponent’s weight against themselves.

Defend themselves without throwing a single punch!

With fighting not being an option in the school system, BJJ will teach your child how to defend themselves without striking their opponent by utilizing grappling techniques to take them to the ground and control them. No longer will your child be a victim of the school yard bully! Empower your son or daughter with confidence that they can defend themselves in school WITHOUT GETTING IN TROUBLE FOR IT!

Functional Self Defense-BJJ utilizes safe, practical and effective methods to teach your child TRUE SELF DEFENSE. Once BJJ students have a grasp of the basics, students participate in what is called “randori” or live grappling (also referred to as “rolling.”) Under the careful supervision of our highly trained instructors, students safely grapple for dominant position while resisting each other, much like wrestling. BJJ has taken the unsafe movements out of sparring (such as strikes) to allow students to spar each other WITHOUT GETTING HURT! BJJ is the safest most effective way for children to learn true self defense.

Character Development- is at the heart of our entire kids program. We emphasize respect and discipline and teach them when it is appropriate to use their martial art. We also teach your child how to avoid fighting and that fighting is ALWAYS a last resort.
