Details: LX Jiu-Jitsu has one goal in mind, to offer a dedicated facility aimed at providing access to world-class self-defense instruction. In order to achieve this, it is imperative that we provide a superior training environment free from ego, attitude, and intimidation. As such, the facility has been designed to create a warm, inviting environment for both participating students as well as spectators to feel completely at ease while they enjoy their class. For regularly scheduled and/or semi-private lessons we have our large training mat which offers a 2000 square foot training area; a secondary training mat is located next to the changing rooms and is reserved for one-on-one training and introductory lessons. For spectators, there is a seating area in the very front of the academy with large viewing panes to watch the activities on the mat; relax in one of our chairs or perhaps enjoy a coconut water on our couches while you observe the class. As hydration is important for everyone, not just participants, we have water fountains on site as well as several healthy alternative drinks for purchase from our vending machine. Since jiu-jitsu is also a contact-based art, considerations are also given to cleanliness with separate restrooms, a private changing area, and multiple sanitizing stations to help visitors feel more at ease. In addition, the mats are specifically designed for this activity so special precautions are taken in selecting manufacturing materials that are known to repel water, are hygienic, antimicrobial, and odor absorption. Care is also taken here at the school to sterilize the mat surface on a daily basis with hospital-grade disinfectant; this serves as another precautionary measure in providing you with piece of mind while training. Accordingly, it is important that all participants have a clean kimono for each training session. For those who are joining us on the mat, your safety is our utmost concern which is why LX Jiu-Jitsu only utilizes the absolute best mats available. As mentioned above these mats are specifically designed for purpose so that any impact with the mat is reduced and absorbed as much as possible. Utilizing inferior training equipment is an easy way to sustain injuries; we want you to be a lifelong student of the art and this becomes much harder if you are constantly injured. Let us be clear that jiu-jitsu is an athletic activity and there are certain risks involved, but by providing this safe, ego-free environment at our facility we are glad to say that these risks are reduced as much as humanly possible. That said, injury can also result from the use of improper technique, which again is why Professor Xavier stresses the details of every single technique in both class instructionals as well as when he observes live training. This is for the safety of not only you and your training partner but also your teammates who may be sharing the mat with you. As your understanding of the basics begins to take shape, your effectiveness and efficiency in applying techniques will improve. It is with this understanding that your journey begins.

Kids Program Detail: National studies have shown that nearly 30% of children have experienced some form of bullying in school. Our Little Wizards Bully Proof program teaches children how to defend themselves in these situations through non-violent conflict resolution. They are taught to use Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, a self-defense system that uses leverage to submit an aggressor, without the need to throw a single punch or kick. Your child will not be taught how to strike another person but they will learn how to react and defend themselves in a safe and effective manner that minimizes their risk of injury or harm. This process of learning to defend themselves empowers your child to develop leadership skills such as self-confidence, courage, responsibility and discipline. The program is also great way to promote an active and healthy lifestyle for kids of any age, shape and size. Our students gain self-esteem through athletic achievement and learn how to carry themselves better in situations that require them to deal with pressure. The Little Wizards Bully Proof program students represent the future of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and their development is extremely important to Professor Xavier, who began his career as a world-class instructor by helping oversee the youth program at Gracie Humaita in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. Because of this experience all of our instructors and students are committed to helping the youngest members of our team develop into healthy and respectful people that apply what they learn at the LX Jiu-Jitsu academy to succeed in all facets of their lives. Our instructors are dedicated to providing your child with a nurturing environment in which they will learn the art of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and its many benefits. Professor Xavier has taken extra special consideration in designing a student-centered curriculum that seamlessly integrates conditioning and self-defense techniques into a well-rounded physical and mental education program. Our youth program takes into consideration input from Texas certified public education teachers so that our student’s individual needs are met by incorporating activities for visual, auditory and kinesthetic learners alike. The Little Wizards Bully Proof program can be taught in a group format during our youth classes or individually through our private lessons program. The Little Wizards Bully Proof program group classes are organized into 3 age groups to ensure the most effective learning environment for your child: Little Wizards I (4-7 years old), Little Wizards II (8-11 years old), Junior Wizards (12-15 years old).

Woman Only Program Detail: Our women’s self-defense program is designed to maximize the effectiveness of Gracie Jiu-jitsu techniques while taking into consideration the capabilities of the female body. This program is designed to empower women by increasing the awareness of their surroundings and enabling them to react calmly and effectively in order to defend themselves in adverse situations like confronting a robber or, in worst-case scenarios, fending off a potential sexual assault. Using the principles of leverage, timing, positioning and momentum will allow women, regardless of their build, to neutralize size differences, whether standing or on the ground, when defending themselves from any attacker. The women’s self-defense program also serves as a very effective aerobic and anaerobic exercise that through consistent attendance will result in weight loss, improved cardiovascular conditioning, flexibility, increased strength and muscle tone and an overall sense of healthiness and well-being.
