Brazilian Jiu Jitsu PROGRAMS

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is a grappling martial art of wrestling an opponent to the ground, achieving a dominant position, and making the opponent submit using a joint lock or chokehold. The art allows a smaller, weaker person to defend themselves against a bigger, stronger assailant, using leverage, angle, technique, weight distribution, and an understanding of human anatomy, making Brazilian Jiu Jitsu a very effective self-defense modality. BJJ embedded itself in modern MMA as an essential component due to its effectiveness in the ring. Beyond that, the BJJ sport is a fantastic way to challenge your skills in competitions and tournaments if you want to keep your competitive fire alive. If jumping into a ring or competing isn’t your thing, don’t worry, BJJ is a fun way to keep your body moving, increase your physical fitness, work on your self-confidence, and practice problem solving, plus you get to be part of an amazing community too!

PRIVATE

BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU SESSIONS

GET A PERSONALIZED INTRODUCTION OR REFINE YOUR SKILLS

Brand new to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and want to learn the basics before getting on the mat?

Want to take your skills to a whole new level or master a unique skill?

Private sessions are a great way to expand your practice or start with the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

  • Here’s the outline of our classes:

    • warm-up

    • technique work

    • live drilling - position escapes

    • rolling (optional)

    We start by warming up our bodies to prepare for the techniques we’re learning.

    Each week has a theme we build on throughout the week, while the fundamental skills are practiced in every class.

    After, we do live drilling where we work on escaping precarious positions and working on control and submissions.

    We close class and open the mat for live rolling, which is open to people after their first few classes.

    If you’re new, we connect with an experienced student to help guide your first few classes for an easeful transition.

  • Tight-fitting athletic wear is ideal. A rashguard or fitted t-shirt with shorts, athletic pants or leggings. Avoid zippers, pockets or anything that could hurt yourself or your partner.

    Remove jewelry and trim finger and toe nails.

  • Jiu-jitsu is a very individual process. Consistent training (three or more times a week) is key to developing skills and endurance.

    For people just starting out, the first couple classes are challenging, as they try to figure out where to go and what to do, but within a few classes, the process gets clearer.

  • Nope, but jiu-jitsu will get you fit. Most people starting, regardless of their fitness level, find this new way of moving their body challenging. As you develop more skills and learn to regulate your breathing under pressure, your conditioning improves.

  • Definitely not. We have people of all ages training jiu-jitsu. It’s never too late to start your journey.
