Our Martial Arts Classes
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a form of ground-art martial arts. Students will learn positions, escapes, grabs, takedowns, falling, controls, and at the older ages, “tap-outs.” These classes focus on learning both the essential mindset and impeccable techniques that make the discipline truly a force to be reckoned with. Open Roll is also offered as a way to implement the new technique in a controlled and supervised session, where they have the opportunity to practice these techniques against a resisting opponent.
Beginner Jiu-Jitsu
Have you ever wanted to try Jiu-Jitsu? Is the cost of a gi (uniform) a worry? This class is for you! Try the no-gi, beginners class with Professor Jake. No uniform necessary. Learn many different movement drills, as well as positions, all while becoming part of the team. A class designed to introduce you to Jiu-Jitsu!
Kid’s Jiu-Jitsu
This jiu-jitsu class is specifically designed for kids ages 5 and above. We will teach and improve on the basic fundamentals of Jiu-Jitsu and help prepare them to join our advanced class.
Karate
Karate is a striking art using punching, kicking, knee strikes, elbow strikes and open hand techniques. These classes consist of a variety of martial arts techniques, including self-defense, sparring, martial arts weapons and forms. You will benefit from an increase in strength, flexibility, cardiovascular endurance, situational awareness, strategic thinking and much, much more.
