Youth Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Youth BJJ provides the amazing benefits of Jiu-Jitsu, instilling self-defense, discipline, and self-confidence at an early age. The class follows the Gracie Barra Fundamentals curriculum, emphasizing technique over strength. This class is for youths ages 6 - 13.

Fundamentals Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Fundamentals is the class that we require all students who are new to the art of BJJ to first attend. Here we focus on learning the basic movements and skills that are essential to progressing in Jiu-Jitsu and establishing a balanced game.

A typical class consists of a light warm-up, observing and drilling techniques involving various submissions, sweeps, escapes, take-downs, etc., then occasionally ending with specific training.

Currently new students may begin attending Advanced Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as well as Submission Grappling classes after earning their second white belt stripe.

Advanced Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Advanced Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu incorporates drills and techniques involving sequences, transitions, and other more progressive BJJ strategy. Members begin to specialize, finding their own game and often become dominant top or bottom players. Most classes end with 30-45 minutes of smooth controlled rolling.

No Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Submission Grappling is essentially Advanced Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu minus the uniform. This style of BJJ forces competitors to use a limited amount of body hooks and handles to subdue their opponents, rather than rely on the large number of grips and chokes available when wearing traditional gi’s and belts.
