Adults bjj class

It is said that more than 80% of fights end up on the ground. Now with odds like that, one should really learn a good groud defense and offense. And what could be better than the art of bjj? There are two types of bjj, "GI" and "No GI". GI (pronounced 'key' but with a 'G' instead of a 'K') is where the students are required to wear the uniform, or GI. No GI class is, well you guessed it... Without the GI! Our adults bjj class consists of an instructor based setting. The key behind learing bjj is to have the Instructor show a move several times, then have the students break into groups of 2 and practice that move. The instructor walks around and corrects/guides the students as needed. After the instructor has shown several moves (usually and hour), the class begins live training - or what we like to call 'Grappling/Rolling'. Here students have the chance to use the tecniques they have learned from the previous portion of the class, as well as to hone in on their previously learned skills. What makes a bjj fighter so deadly is their ability to practice the moves in a live setting, hence the Grappling portion of the class... Simply learning a move is useless without being able to apply it in a real life scenario!

Adults Judo Class

Our adults Judo class consists of an instructor based setting. The Judo class is much like the Adults bjj class in that the instructor will show Judo principals, such as a move, a throw, or a combination of the two. Once the instructor is satisfied that the student knows how to practice what he has just shown the class, he will break them up into groups of 2; Letting them work with eachother while the he goes arround the class to ensure that the students are practicing the move correctly. Once the class has worked their tecniques for a while, the students will do 'live' training exercises.

Kids bjj class

Our kids bjj class has many of the same qualites as our Adults class... only... More kid friendly! We usually begin the kids class with activities that help strengthen their overall coordination, while improving their bjj tecnique. Then, much like the Adults class, they are shown a bjj tecnique several times, then broken up into groups of 2 to review the tecnique. We strive to have the students in our kids class apply the "Principals of a Black Belt" to their everyday Life by strictly enforcing them during class time. These principals include: Modesty, Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Honesty, Humility, and last, but certainly not least, Respect! So if your looking for a good clean enviornment to help strengthen your kids' qualities, why not let them have a blast while doing it?! Like we always say "Join a gym, but GROW into a FAMILY"!
