JIU JITSU
Through learning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu,children will become more physically fit, and they will learn and develop skills that they can put to use off of the mat throughout their entire lives.
Our Kids Jiu Jitsu classes offer your child the opportunity to meet new friends while learning how to defend themselves in a safe and controlled environment. We focus on showing our students how to protect themselves against bullies without becoming a bully themselves. The benefits your child will gain from this are immeasurable.
10TH PLANET JIU JITSU
10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu is a non-traditional system of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu developed by Eddie Bravo. Bravo's system emphasizes developing students for submission-only grappling competition rather than points, he focused his jiu-jitsu training without the traditional gi, becoming one of the first jiu-jitsu schools to do so. The idea behind this was to try to implement as many of the techniques as possible in mixed martial arts (MMA) competitions.
In this class you will learn elements of self defense and grappling from traditional Brazilian Jiu Jitsu as well as the 10th Planet System.
THAI KICKBOXING
Muay Thai, sometimes referred to as "Thai boxing", is a martial art and combat sport that uses stand-up striking along with various clinching techniques. This discipline is known as the "art of eight limbs" as it is characterized by the combined use of fists, elbows, knees and shins. Mastery of coordination, accuracy, timing, distance management and strategy combined with conditioning the body makes this art powerful and effective.
