Programs

Academy Programs

Kids & Teens

Studying BJJ gives kids and teens the knowledge that they can leverage their body’s strength to accomplish things they never thought possible. Over time, it increases self-confidence and pride – and that carries over to work, home, and every area of their lives.

Adults

By teaching students to take the fight to the ground where they can use chokeholds and other effective techniques to defend themselves, BJJ helps leverage even a small body into a huge problem for an attacker.
