We teach classes for children of all ages but normally no younger than 7 yrs of age. Our Jiu Jitsu programs will help everybody feel more confident, because they know deep down they have been prepared better for an unexpected situation, which hopefully can be diffused with out violence first.
Our students learn all three major parts of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. We don’t show you only the parts that work in competition. We show you the parts that work in a street altercation as well.
