Overview

AGES 4 - 5

For most kids between the ages of 4 to 5 years old, this is often their first classroom or structured group learning experience.  Therefore, we focus on basic classroom etiquette and social skills.  We also focus on basic balance as well as positional and body awareness. In terms of technique, we teach the foundational elements of Jiu Jitsu that will be the building blocks of self-defense.  We teach them a mindset that focuses on bully prevention and stranger awareness.  We help guide this age group into their first experiences in competition based jiu jitsu.

AGES 6 - 12

This program, which includes children 6 to 12 years old, ranges from kids who have simply seen fighting on tv to kids having years of experience on the mats.  At this level, we teach foundational techniques for the sportive aspect of Jiu Jitsu and situational bully defense. Children get to develop their skills through controlled sparring situations.  We put a heavy emphasis on age-appropriate character-building lessons, as well as competition based training.

AGES 13+

This is a program for adults with little to no previous Jiu Jitsu experience.  In this class, we have an increased level of seriousness and intensity.  We dive deeper into Jiu Jitsu theory and practice, and show a broader spectrum of techniques.  There is a heavy emphasis on sparring and preparation for competition, and self defense.  This class is geared more towards self-defense than sport jiu jitsu.  The pace of this class is increased in order to give the students a workout along with the basic art of Jiu Jitsu.
