BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU (BJJ)
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting with the goal of gaining a dominant position and using joint-locks and chokeholds to force an opponent to submit or be knocked out depending on what submission method is used. It promotes the principle that a smaller, weaker person using leverage and proper technique can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant. It primarily uses Judo takedowns to take the fight to the ground and gain the dominant position. BJJ can be trained for self defense, sport grappling tournaments (gi and no-gi) and mixed martial arts (MMA) competition. Sparring (commonly referred to as 'rolling') and live drilling play a major role in training, and a premium is placed on performance, especially in competition, in relation to progress and ascension through its ranking system.
Introductory Class
It is an interactive one-on-one half an hour class outlining the basic governing principles and techniques of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The intro class serves as a preview class to those genuinely interested in enrolling at the academy and training in our beginners' BJJ Basics Program.
The intro class also allows participants to ask questions so any doubts or uncertainty can be addressed before beginning their journey into the sport. It's totally FREE of charge and under appointment only .
Fundamentals
Our Fundamentals program is the first step for anyone beginning their Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training. Students will learn the concepts and very basic techniques that are necessary for a solid grasp and understanding of the gentle art.
These techniques will form the foundation that will increase the student's chances to excel in the sport.
No 'full sparring' is allowed at this stage, instead, the class' structure is designed in a very dynamic way with “Specific Drills” where you will improve your fitness level and will learn what to expect and how to safely defend yourself on the most common situations. This learning process happens at your own pace in a friendly and fun atmosphere. This program lasts 60 classes. By the end of this program you are ready to the Intermediate level with two stripes in the white belt.
All Levels
After a period learning the basics and the foundation at our Beginners program (60 classes), you will be ready to move onto the next level. Our All Levels program helps our students to have a deeper and more technical understanding of the techniques allowing then to apply it all at the “Partial Sparring” (a friendly dispute that will happen in a specific position that was worked during the class) and also experience our Open Roll aka "Free Rolls", experiencing the Jiu Jitsu as a whole as also its' full benefits, fun and rewards in a friendly and controlled environment.
In this phase usually students start to enter in the real 'Jiu Jitsu Lifestyle' understanding the importance of taking more care of the health by dieting and losing bad habits for example. This program will take you to your Next Belt.
Kids / Anti-Bullying
In a fun controlled environment, your kids from 4 years old onwards will begin their journey.
The first goals on our Kids BJJ Program are to learn the basics of self defense and to naturally develop confidence, discipline, determination and resilience.
Jiu Jitsu helps build character and an understanding that winning and losing is part of life. It is how you bounce back from a loss that matters.
During our classes we consistently encourage and teach our kids to be responsible, respect their parents, use Jiu Jitsu only for self defense or during class, eat healthy and have fun!
