Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is a grappling-based martial art whose central theme is the skill of controlling a resisting opponent in ways that force him to submit. Due to the fact that control is generally easier on the ground than in a standing position, much of the technique of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is centered around the skill of taking an opponent down to the ground and wrestling for dominant control positions from where the opponent can be rendered harmless. To control and overcome greater size, strength, and aggression with lesser size and strength is the keynote of the sport. This is done by utilizing superior leverage, grip, and position upon your opponent. Students of the sport gain a deep understanding of the workings and limits of the human body. This knowledge can be used to subdue and control an opponent with whatever level of severity the student chooses. The path to this knowledge is physically and mentally demanding. Students benefit from greatly increased physical fitness, problem-solving ability, self-knowledge of their body and mind and the many social benefits of working within a large group of like-minded fellow students as you learn and have fun together.

Our Programs
Adult Classes
Jiu Jitsu is one of the most effective, reality-based fighting systems in the world. The basic premise of Jiu Jitsu is that 90% of fights end up on the ground. As such, Jiu Jitsu is focused primarily on effective ground fighting. The goal is to put an opponent into situations on the ground where joint locks and/or chokes can be applied to force him/her to submit. Jiu Jitsu – NO GI is the ground-fighting martial art focused on joint locks, chokes, and positions. It is the science of using leverage, human body mechanics, balance, and technique to create favorable situations against a live opponent. It is the practical approach to the MMA ground game.
Kids Classes
History has shown that martial arts can be an excellent teacher for children to learn life skills such as discipline, mental strength, focus, hard work, integrity, confidence, teamwork, and more. Ultimately, martial arts are about continuous self-improvement physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Of course, the goal is also to bully-proof your child against bullies. The scars of bullying can last a lifetime and can destroy self-esteem and confidence.
After School Program
The average child (in after care) will spend 650 hours a year in an after school program. Think of all the things one could accomplish in less time. A masters degree comes to mind. We believe these are critical hours that can be used to the Childs benefit. Our program is structured, disciplined and fun.
