Our Preschool Program is for children who are 3 and 4 years old. We teach them confidence, listening skills, balance, and coordination. These skills are fundamental in Jiu-Jitsu. This program is all about learning through fun and games.
Our Young Childrens Program is for children between 5 and 7 years old. In this program we begin introducing some simple fundamental self-defense techniques and jiu jitsu. The kids have fun while learning in a safe environment.
Our Older Childrens program is for children 7–11 years old. In this program we offer more complex self-defense and jiu jitsu techniques along with an opportunity to practice the techniques.
Our take down Tuesday class focuses on learning how to safely get our partner to the ground.
Our Adult Programs are split into three groups. The first group is beginners, which is open to anyone who is new to jiu jitsu. There are classes that are for all levels and beginners are also welcome to attend those.
These are more advanced Adult classes for adults who have been training consistently for at least 6 months and have a basic understanding of Jiu Jitsu.
Our women's program is open to all adolescent and adult women. We focus on self-defense and jiu jitsu techniques.
This program is for men and women of any age. This class does not require a membership. We focus on coordination, balance, confidence building, and self-defense techniques. It is pay per class if not a current member.
We have a very special opportunity for students and their parents. It gives the opportunity for our students to bond with their parent(s). We do fun and basic techniques that apply to child and adult alike.
Nervous about attending your first class? Do you have a technique you want to perfect? Are you getting ready to compete and need help with a game plan? We offer private sessions with all of our instructors and Professor Kelly.
We offer self-defense seminars at the academy and at local businesses. We also offer open self-defense seminars at the academy once every other month.
