A solid foundation in the basics is essential for progress in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Some of the beginner techniques include: Breaking falls, Take downs, Submissions, Escapes, Holds, and Leverage and balance techniques. The adult classes are open to men and woman.

ADULT / ADVANCED CLASS

Along with the continued development of the applications taught in the beginner’s classes, the advanced class allows you to train with multiple partners of varied skill levels, providing a more developed understanding of techniques and the fighting process.
Intermediate and advanced students will primarily focus on strategy, refining their technique and learning to “flow” with their opponent. As a student acquires increasing technical proficiency and skill, he or she will be allowed to apply their knowledge in free sparring sessions with other students. Sparring builds stamina and endurance while allowing the student to test their technical skills against an uncooperative opponent.

NO GI / SUBMISSION GRAPPLING

This class focuses on learning and applying all the effectiveness and versatility of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu without the traditional Gi (uniform). No Gi training is very similar to Jiu-Jitsu and is build on all the same principals.

The training much like Jiu-Jitsu concentrates on the ground control and submissions. The No Gi/Submission classes are open to all ranks, but a good foundation in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu technique is strongly recommended.
