PRIVATE LESSONS

The Kids/Teens Program focuses on:
Teaching fundamental BJJ techniques such as positional control, escapes, and submissions in an age-appropriate and engaging manner.
Our structured curriculum is tailored to different age groups and skill levels, allowing children and teens to progress at their own pace while building a strong foundation.
A primary emphasis is placed on safety and respect for training partners, with a strict no-bullying policy to create a positive and inclusive learning environment.
Our classes incorporate fitness exercises and drills to improve strength, flexibility, coordination, and overall physical fitness, promoting a healthy and active lifestyle.
Our classes incorporate anti-bullying strategies and self-defense techniques, empowering young participants with the skills and confidence to handle challenging situations effectively and non-violently.
The Adults Program focuses on:
The essential techniques and principles of BJJ include positions like guard, mount, and side control, as well as escapes, sweeps, and submissions.
A structured curriculum ensures that adults can progress from white belt to black belt systematically, with each class building on previous knowledge to develop well-rounded skills.
Live sparring, or "rolling," is a key component of BJJ training for adults, allowing them to practice techniques in a controlled, real-world setting and develop their timing and reflexes.
In addition to sport-focused training, self-defense techniques are often integrated into the program to help adults apply BJJ principles in real-life situations.
You will perform drills and exercises to improve physical fitness, strength, flexibility, and endurance, which are essential for effective performance on the mats.
We emphasize mental aspects of the sport, including strategy, problem-solving, and the development of discipline, patience, and resilience in the face of challenges.
Private Classes:
We will create and develop a unique and personalized training program based on your individual needs and goals. We will build on your strengths and develop and refine new skills to better equip you and have you build the confidence both on and off the mat.
