About Our Program

Brazilian Jiu-Jistu (BJJ)

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a dynamic grappling-based martial art that emphasizes technique, leverage, and control to overcome opponents of any size or strength. Rooted in self-defense and sport, BJJ builds confidence, discipline, and problem-solving skills while offering a full-body workout.

For children, BJJ fosters coordination, focus, and resilience. Our youth program starts with BJJ Cubs (ages 3-5), where kids develop fundamental movements through play. BJJ Young Lions (ages 6-9) refines those instincts with structured technique and terminology. BJJ Juniors (ages 10-13) introduce more advanced techniques and competitive strategies.

Adults (14+) of all levels train together in a welcoming, structured environment designed to develop technical proficiency and practical skills. Our certified instructors ensure a safe and supportive atmosphere, with multiple coaches on the mat for youth classes.
