Classes
Fundamentals/Concepts
This class runs concurrently with the kids class in an adjacent room, so both kids AND parents/guardians can be on the mats at the same time. This course focuses on fundamental positions and concepts of BJJ for both sport and defense, and allows for situational sparring to ground-truth the movements.
Fundamental/Concepts:
TUES-THurs, 5:30-6:30PM
Gi Jiu-Jitsu
The Gi (uniform) is the original style of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. With its roots in Judo and Japanese Jujitsu, this style offers the most variation and complexity. Gi BJJ allows one to learn how to move even when someone is grabbing on to your clothes, and often these movements translate to no-gi (without the uniform) as well.
GI CLasses:
Mon/Fri, 10-11:30AM
MON/WED 6:30PM
TUES/THURS 6AM (Gi and no gi)
KIDS CLASSES
We offer classes three days a week, focusing on ages 6-12 (although that is subject to the maturity of the potential student. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is often likened to a physical game of chess, requiring both tactical strategy and swift decision-making. Our goal is to empower your child to become a problem-solver, helping them navigate the challenges of life with grace and confidence.
Kids CLASSES:
TUES/THURS/FrI 5:30PM
no-gi Jiu-Jitsu
No-gi BJJ is becoming more common, and is often classified as ‘submission wrestling.’ Unlike Gi BJJ, grabbing onto clothes is not allowed, and often this game is faster-paced than its Gi counterpart. Although the fundamental concepts remain the same, adjustments are needed to account for the lack of grips.
no-gi Classes:
Tues/tHURS 6:30 PM
Sat 10:30AM (June-December)
Kickboxing
Although sport BJJ does not allow strikes, it is important to learn striking for self-defense purposes and to learn how to manage distances. Besides learning how to properly strike, the theory of striking will be explored, as well as the transition between striking and grappling. We offer sparring rounds after the Friday class.
Striking classes:
Monday 5:30pm, Friday 6:30pm
OPEN MAT
Just like any other activity that requires skill, you also need practice. Open mat gives you the opportunity to explore/troubleshoot your specific problem with your peers, as well as get good rolls in. This is an unstructured class with no formal facilitation, but everyone is here to help everyone else.
