Gyms Details:

Details: Red River Brazililan Jiu-jitsu is a family owned business. Professor Ben, and Coach Vanessa are the proud owners of this school and both are US Air Force veterans. Professor Ben has been training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu since 2005 while stationed in Anchorage, Alaska. He started training under Professor Ted Stickel at Gracie Barra, Anchorage, Alaska. The family moved to Sheppard Air Force Base, Wichita Falls, TX in 2009 and realized there was no Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu schools in the area. They both decided to open the school and share this wonderful art with the community. In 2014, yet another military move sent them both to the Pentagon, Washington DC. Both decided to retire after 20 years of service each, and return to Wichita Falls to run the school full time. Professor Ben is a black belt under Bruno Bastos, Vanessa and Leo (son) are both blue belts and coaches, and Edy (son) is well on his way to become a great coach himself. They are proud to offer martial arts in a family friendly environment for all families to train. They truly love to share their knowledge with the community.

Kids Program Detail: Warm-up – In order to prevent injury, warm-up is achieved by calisthenics and different drills that will also assist in improving the person’s jiu-jitsu, cardio, and endurance. Instruction – the coach will demonstrate a move and will break it down, step-by-step for the students. The coach will continue to demonstrate different variations of that move and will proceed depending on the skill level of the class. It is very important for students to pay close attention during this time to get the most out of the technique. If a student has problems grasping the techniques, our coaches will be quick to assist. Drills—the students will pair up and drill each move between 4-6 minutes until the student feels comfortable. Drilling is an imperative part of our program in order for the student to become accustomed to the different positions and movements of jiu-jitsu. Rolling/grappling—after the instruction and drills, the student will apply the techniques that they have learned during a rolling/grappling session with each other. Safety is our priority, so mouth guards and cups are highly encouraged.

Woman Only Program Detail: The goal for this class is to tackle weight loss and learn self-defense at the same time. The class will consist of a warm-up with drills that will help with cardio, conditioning and self-defense. After the warm up, the coach will show a self-defense/jiu-jitsu move and everybody will practice it. Once the students are comfortable with the basic moves, we will close class with a live grappling session to incorporate all the moves learned. We will meet twice a week, every Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30 – 6:15pm in the War Room. This class is held at the same time as the Junior’s class, so you can drop off your kids at their class and you can train too
