BEGINNERS JIU JITSU CLASS
January 7th, 2025 we will start a fundamental beginnner’s Jiu Jitsu class for both teenagers and adults. The focus of this class is to slow down the pace of our typical, traditional classes in an attempt to reach out to prospective practitioners that may not be ready for our regular classes. We encourage you to try this class if you have never done any combat related sport. We will teach the beginner on the basic takedowns and ground techniques associated with Jiu Jitsu. In addition the class will focus heavily on self defense and escapes for the beginner. This class will start with a very light warmup focusing on basic body movements. We will then proceed to instruct and study a stand up technique whether Wrestling / Judo based or focusing on a standing self defense situation.
From there, we will proceed to study ground techniques and ensure the techniques are tied together so the strategy involved with a specific technique can be realized. Lastly, we will end class by doing some light live sparring rounds for a short duration allowing each practitioner the opportunity for adequate rest. This class will be No-GI so the practitioner can arrive in workout shorts and a T-shirt or can purchase uniforms from the Academy.
TEENS / ADULTS GI JIU JITSU
Gi Jiu Jitsu classes are conducted using a traditional gi uniform. Using the gi will enhance the use of technique and grips against the material. The gi can be purchased online with any vendor or at the academy. Primarily this class focuses on how to utilize the Gi grips to your advantage for both standup and ground techniques. Keep in mind, utilization of the GI is transferable to No Gi so we believe both methods should be trained to enhance the skill level ultimately of the Jiu Jitsu practicioner.
TEENS / ADULTS NOGI GRAPPLING
Our No-Gi grappling classes are taught using form fitting rash guards and shorts. The class focuses more on wrestling and fast paced ground techniques for the more dynamic No-Gi style of grappling. No-Gi uniforms can be purchased online with any vendor or purchased at the academy. This class can be a bit challenging in terms of endurance and physicality. Although it is challenging, it is fun and our instructors will always allow a practitioner to rest as needed with no judgement!
LIVE TRAINING
Live training classes are focused on sparring rounds with short breaks between. Training partners are free to choose between using the GI or No GI.
KIDS / YOUTH CLASSES
(AGES 7 to 12-13 ish)
In July 2023, we began incorporating classes for kids ages 7-12. Kids up to 14 are allowed to train with the class, if they are not ready to join the adults. The classes will be 45-50 minutes long with technique instruction 3 days per week and Saturday’s will focus on an hour of live training (i.e. rolling / sparring). A routine kids class consists of warm up drills that will increase the childs physical coordination. We will then move onto a Wrestling or Judo takedown technique. After the takedowns are drilled we move to the ground to teach techniques to enhance the childs ability to work out of the bottom position, maintain top position, and learn how to submit their opponent.
Your kid will benefit by learning realistic self-defense skills, overcome adversity, develop hand-eye coordination, become athletic, get in shape, become stronger, more flexible, more agile, develop interpersonal skills, make new friends, and most importantly have fun! We do our best to accommodate each childs as each child’s personality can be different.
