Gyms Details:

Head Professor: Jackson Fortunato

Details: Professor Jackson Fortunato began his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) journey in south Brazil in 1999. After years of training, he felt it was time to begin a new adventure, so after graduating with a bachelor’s degree in Physical Education (UNESCO) he moved overseas to London, the UK with the objective to spread the love of BJJ while immersing himself in a different culture. The plan was simple, he and two other BJJ black belts began a project (bjjschool.co.uk) where they learned and taught BJJ. Today it’s one of the most successful BJJ schools in the UK, with several locations, a large following, and one of the largest kids groups in the whole country. After eight years working to expand the art around all of Europe, Professor Jackson decided it was time to start a new chapter and offer his same approach to the art in Texas. He has spent the last five years teaching and learning the gentle art in Houston.

Kids Program Detail: Future Champs (5-8 years old) – We don’t teach Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, we play Jiu-jitsu. The Future Champs secret is that we teach a series of 10 Games in which they secretly learn the essential self-defense techniques. By playing the fun and challenging Games, children develop strong reflexes in the execution of the basic techniques as they unconsciously learn the foundational principles of leverage and control. Juniors Empowered (9-13 years old) – Empower your child when they need it most. Since bullying is most prevalent in this age group, we teach the children in the Jrs. Empowered class the techniques they must know in order to defend themselves if attacked. The best part about the techniques is that they are all nonviolent control tactics designed to minimize injury to the bully if used during a real fight.

Woman Only Program Detail: In this program, we will teach you how to neutralize the 15 most common attacks ranging from having your hair grabbed to being pinned to the ground by a weapon-bearing assailant. You can start the program at any time and participate in any class without previous experience. Unlike most self-defense systems that rely heavily on strength, speed, and coordination, the techniques in this program employ leverage, technique, and timing, so anyone, regardless of age or athletic ability, can make them work against larger opponents.
