Jiu-Jitsu
In the interest of many of our members, we have added a martial arts program (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) for the whole family. We are offering this program on a 6-six week basis, however we intend for this to be a year round martial art, self-defense, fitness and exercise program. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art built around 7 different martial arts with an emphasis on ground self-defense. It is the latest among all martial arts and the most effective self-defense system. Sometimes referred to as “the gentle art,” BJJ uses technique and leverage to take the confrontation to the ground, dominate the position, take control and end an altercation by applying self-defense techniques to defeat potentially bigger and stronger opponents. There is no age limit to learn these skills.
We will teach our kids, adults and seniors the same foundational curriculum that’s encouraging, engaging, and fun! This is an excellent way for any age to get exercise and build confidence, strength, discipline, and endurance, all while learning vital self-defense techniques. It also encourages a healthy lifestyle by motivating students to make healthier decisions. Many of the lessons learned through Jiu-Jitsu are applicable in our everyday lives.
