Positive Life Skills

We've researched and developed a method of teaching that cultivates the best of BJJ, contributing to fast progress and efficient learning for all students.

Kids/Teens – In our program we’ll help your child develop physically in a high energy class. In a fun environment your child will learn realistic self-defense skills for real life threatening situations. No jump kicks or wood chopping here. BJJ will teach your child how to confront aggression positively.

Adults - the program will emphasize primary and basic positions. Grappling is very complex in comparison to other martial arts and if not approached in stages could be very confusing and frustrating. As in the kids program our classes will have warm up and drills followed by technique study and practice (known as rolling or sparring). After 3 months you will have a better understanding and after 6 months you’ll have learnt enough to fully appreciate this martial art. After a year's training the student can expect to gain enough confidence to defend themselves in any type of confrontation.

BJJ is not something to be looked at as a seasonal effort, but rather as a discipline that will develop positive life skills. After some time you begin to understand the philosophy and discipline of the art. An asset that can’t be taken away from you.

There are many other advantages in training BJJ: 

  • Dramatic muscle toning
  • Increased muscular/cardiovascular strength
  • Increased flexibility
  • Agility and motor coordination
  • Self confidence
  • Increase in lean body mass
  • Stress reduction
