Classes

The approach to defending yourself one the ground and against a larger opponent. This is a beginning level class BUT it is crucial for even higher belts to keep practicing their fundamentals- the foundation of Gracie Jiu-jitsu. We teach how to defend against the most common situations and attacks by learning proper technique, timing and leverage. By learning the basic philosophy of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, you will learn basic self-defense techniques that can be used for competition style techniques. Gi’s are required for this class.

This is Jiu-Jitsu without the Gi. Everything builds on the fundamentals but your gripping and strategies differ when you don’t have a Gi. Rash guards and Spats (tights) are required for this class. 

This class is designed to get you ready to compete.  We learn and talk about many situations that you will find yourself in while rolling and getting more competitive in Jiu-Jitsu.  This class is level up form the Fundamentals class and will build on that jiu-jitsu foundation.  If you don’t think you will compete but want to learn more, you are welcome to come in on Saturdays and learn how to up your game on the mats. 

Dr. Jeff’s first passion in martial arts was Judo.  In Judo, you will learn the art of take-downs, throwing, off-balancing and gripping.  Judo and Jiu-Jitsu are sister martial arts and your Jiu-Jitsu skills will be strengthened by learning Judo.  Gi’s are required for this class.

We have broken our kids’ classes into two categories:  Ages 4-6 and ages 7-12.  Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is the most effective and non-violent approach to self-defense.  Your child will learn many skills including self-defense, respect, discipline, anti-bullying, sportsmanship and most important, self- confidence.  Gi’s are required for this class.

This is for the serious student who wants to compete or expand their Jiu-Jitsu skills.  In this a one-hour class, we will cover many scenarios that your child will come across when they compete in Jiu-Jitsu competitions.  There is an additional charge for this class.

Put your skills to the test during our open mat time.  We do require you to have at least 1 month into your Jiu-Jitsu journey before you go for your first roll on the mats.
