What Is Jiu Jitsu Martial Arts?

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, or BJJ, is known as Arte Suave or The Gentle Art because is uses leverage and technique, rather than strength to subdue your opponent. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu utilizes a Jiu Jitsu Gi / Kimono. Most fights are taken to the ground, and that’s where BJJ takes over. In Brazilian Jiu Jitsu there is no punching or kicking, opponents are subdued by joint locks and chokes. The goal of each rolling session is not to hurt your opponent, but to get him to the point where he must tap out. We teach our students to tap early and often (it’s basically like saying, “uncle”). BJJ is a safe and fun way for your child to learn how to defend himself without having to throw punches or kicks.

What Positive Impact

Can I Expect For My Child?

  • Paying Attention – Kids who have a hard time paying attention and focusing on tasks see a big improvement from our martial arts program. Primarily because of the physical aspect of it, but also from the loving attention and discipline our coaches give. We have many kids who have been diagnosed ADD or ADHD that are finally able to put their talents to work in a fun and engaging environment where they want to focus.
  • Calming Confidence – It’s a common misconception that learning self defense and martial arts will make your child want to fight more; rather, what happens over time is they grow a quiet confidence where they don’t want to start an altercation, but would rather diffuse the situation through talking first. Our instructors make it clear that the techniques we teach them are for self defense not for starting fights.
  • Self-Respect – Think about it. If you’re a child with no knowledge of how to defend yourself, are you going to stand up to the bully? Probably not. Having self-respect comes from confidence, and that kind of confidence comes from coming to martial arts class and learning how to defend themselves. Then, if being teased or confronted with a bully, your child can more confidently use their words to diffuse a situation without fear because they know how to defend themselves.
  • Weight Loss – Our Martial Arts are active and lots of fun. Whether they are training with a partner or doing solo drills, they’ll be leaving each class with a sweat. The parents love seeing their kids in a positive atmosphere sweating alittle bit rather than seeing them plopped on the couch staring at their phones or tv.
  • Coordination – We do many drills and techniques that require them to develop and increase their whole body coordination so that they feel stronger and more aware of their body.
  • And Many More, Just Imagine

Yes we do. Our Jiu Jitsu program is divided into Level 1 for Kids and Level 2 for Kids.

Although we can’t guarantee that there won’t be some bumps and bruises along the way, rest assured that we have adequate staff at each class to ensure proper safety.

However, if you let us do what we do best, your child will come out the other side stronger and more determined than ever.

Yes, absolutely. Jiu Jitsu is primarily a ground martial art. For example: boxing and muay thai are stand-up martial arts, but what happens if someone takes you to the ground? That’s where Jiu Jitsu comes in. Through leverage and techniques they’ll learn in class they’ll be able to defend themselves very quickly. We don’t teach theory, this is applicable safe techniques that you can start feeling comfortable with from day 1.
