Kids Program Detail: Relson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy-Athens offers classes for kids in order to teach non-violent self defense and to promote confidence, positive values, good character, and of course get out a bunch of energy and play fun games. Our kids classes are divided by age groups, starting with our Shark Pups (ages 4-6 ), Little Sharks (ages 7-9), and Jr. Combatives (ages 10-14). We want your children to experience learning and growth in a comfortable environment that allows them to engage in an athletic activity that will provide a skill useful in their development into adulthood. Relson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu—Athens provides lessons to promote assertiveness, confidence, and awareness so that your kids will feel confident and in control of any scenario that they may feel pressured - in school or out in the real world. At Relson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Athens we believe that when our kids are in self-defense scenarios where someone may be verbally or physically aggressive, it is important to follow the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu philosophy of self defense that aims to avoid any physical confrontation. Because of this philosophy, we teach self defense techniques that seek to deescalate situations while maintaining confidence, distance, and a protective defensive position. As we are practical and know that sometimes physical altercations between kids are inevitable, we teach self defense techniques that use leverage-based control holds to neutralize aggressive confrontations without violence.

Woman Only Program Detail: This class is an extension of the general Gracie Jiu-Jitsu curriculum taught at Relson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy - Athens that allows women to train in a female only environment and deals with more specific situations that women may encounter in real life scenarios. You can start the program at any time and participate in any class without previous experience. The Women's Self Defense class at Relson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy - Athens teaches techniques that, follow Gracie Jiu-Jitsu principles of how to employ leverage, technique, and timing, so that these techniques will work against larger opponents. At Relson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy - Athens, we believe Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is the most effective form of self defense, and combined with the "street effective" style of Relson Gracie's Jiu-Jitsu teachings, we are confident that this is the best place for women to learn self defense in the region. Many other women's self defense programs or classes often rely heavily on speed and coordination, which we consider to be "low percentage moves" - or moves that work only a fraction of the time. To us, this is unacceptable and at Relson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy - Athens we teach techniques to make sure that you feel confident and safe in any situation or environment.
