Kids Program Detail: ONE Academy teaches kids non-violent self defense to promote confidence, positive values, good character and, of course, get a bunch of energy out! Our kids classes are divided by age groups, starting with our Shark Pups (ages 5-6 ), Little Sharks (ages 7-9), and Jr. Combatives (ages 10-13). Each class is taught in an age-appropriate way to promote learning, excitement and just the right amount of discipline. We believe that if our kids are in scenarios where someone is 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 deescalate situations while maintaining confidence. As we are practical and know that sometimes physical altercations are inevitable, we teach self defense techniques that use leverage-based control holds to neutralize aggressive confrontations without violence. We want your kids to feel confident and in control of any scenario that they may feel pressured—in school or out in the real world.

Woman Only Program Detail: At ONE Academy, we believe Jiu-Jitsu is the most effective form of self defense and are confident that this is the best place for women to learn self defense in the region. Many women's self defense programs or classes 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. We teach techniques to make sure that you feel confident and safe in any situation or environment. In the past, we offered weekly women-only classes. While we may bring back these classes in the future, our current focus is to offer classes that the entire community can benefit from.
