Real Kid's Self Defense, WITHOUT Hitting!

  • Rule at Home : No Hitting

  • Rule at School: No Hitting

  • Crossover BJJ Kids Rule: NO HITTING!

Finally an effective Kid's Self Defense Program that teaches your child real Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu self defense skills, yet reinforces the "No Hitting" rule that they've learned at home and school! If a child cannot avoid a confrontation and they need to defend themselves, they do not need to harm another with violent strikes in order to defend themselves. Instead, we teach proven leverage based escape and control techniques that a child, of any size, can learn to effectively make themselves safe. We teach Kid's Self Defense, not Violence. All of our kids learn anti-bully strategies (verbal and non-verbal). Come see the difference! 

This program is specifically designed for children ages 5 and up. All of our kids classes are taught in fun and SAFE environment by professional and experienced instructors. Our classes are designed to impart valuable life skills to our students on and off the mats; including effective self-defense, confidence, goal-setting and teamwork.

Class Details

Intro BJJ: This class is for those just beginning their Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) journey. Within this class we teach the foundational concepts and techniques of BJJ/Self Defense. Because this class is designed for beginners, we focus this class on learning the mechanics of technique, ensuring that our students can execute the movements properly and safely. There is No Live Rolling (Sparring) in this Class. This class is First Class Friendly and does not require a Gi (Uniform) on your first day. Students will want to purchase a Gi if they will be continuing their training.  

Essential BJJ -  Our Essential BJJ class is our core class offering. The Essentials program is designed for the everyday practitioner and is an all level class. In this class, we teach those techniques with the highest percentage of success, and delve into the details that allow you to execute them even better. This class does incorporate Live Drills and Live Rolling (Sparring); however students may choose to just observe this portion of class. These classes are offered in both Gi (Uniform) and No-Gi (Shorts & T-shirt/Rashguard). This class is First Class Friendly and does not require a Gi (Uniform) on your first day.

Intermediate/Advanced (Int/Adv) BJJ - For those who have a solid foundation, we offer a more challenging intermediate/advanced class, where we teach higher level techniques and complex strategies, allowing you to take your Jiu-Jitsu to the next level. We also integrate more advanced Live Drills and Live Rolling (Sparring), enabling you to put your knowledge to practice. These classes are offered in both Gi (Uniform) and No-Gi (Shorts & T-shirt/Rashguard).

Open Rolling (Members Only) - Our Open Rolling session is designed to allow members an opportunity to get in some extra rolling (aka sparring) every week. These sessions are open to members of all levels, however those attending should have at least a basic understanding of rolling prior to attending. There is no formal instruction/coaching given during these sessions, just lots of grappling!

Open Mat (2nd Friday of the month)- Our monthly open mat is open to any one from any academy. This session is a great opportunity to get in some extra rolling (aka sparring) and meet other members of the local Jiu-Jitsu community.

Essential Kickboxing - Although the primary focus of our Academy is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, we believe that there is great benefit in having a well rounded knowledge & skill set. This class is designed to teach students the Fundamentals of Striking Offense and Defense. This is not a Kickboxing Class for Professional Fighters. The focus of this class will be teaching essential Striking skills in a controlled manner and does not involve hard contact sparring.

Intermediate/Advanced (Int/Adv) Kickboxing - For those who have a solid striking foundation, this class helps students take their striking to the next level. This class focuses on more advanced drills, techniques and striking strategies than our Essential Kickboxing Class.
