This is the place to learn self-defense, sport Jiu Jitsu or to just focus on overall health and fitness. Our studio offers different age levels and class times to fit busy lifestyles. Called Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) because it was developed and refined in Brazil, BJJ evolved from Judo techniques and is similar to Japanese Jiu Jitsu, but it focuses on grappling exclusively by teaching “ground fighting.” No weapons are used, and there is no hitting. In ground fighting, a person has more leverage than fighting standing up. A smaller person can more easily get the advantage over a larger person. It brings the fight to the ground, where pressure, chokes, and locks allow you to take control and overpower your opponent. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was instrumental in the formation of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), beginning in Brazil as events called “Vale Tudo” during the 1920s. BJJ is one of four grappling techniques used in MMA matches still today. The ability to participate in this sport is not restricted by sex, age, or size. It can bring a feeling of confidence and security to your life. Also referred to as the “gentle art,” it uses not only physical aspects but mental as well.

Kids Program Detail: Breakaway Jiu Jitsu in Newport News, VA has Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) classes for kids. Why should your child learn BJJ? Body awareness: BJJ develops motor skills, balance, coordination, and neuromuscular connections. Socialization: Meeting new friends and sharing common experiences is a great way to learn how to communicate with kids of all ages as well as adults and authority figures. Confidence: As kids learn how to use BJJ techniques to overcome their opponent, they will be more confident in their ability to defend themselves and feel more secure. Fitness: What would be better than losing weight and having more energy and stamina? Having fun while doing it. Students don’t need to be athletes to begin classes. Everyone learns and advances at their own pace. Goal Setting and Completion: Improvement, completion, and earning that next belt motivates and encourages everyone to work a little bit harder. Self-Defense: BJJ is a real means of self-defense. In the United States, 25% to 33% of students say they have been bullied. Verbal and social bullying is the most common, yet some can lead to physical altercations. Although bystanders help in such situations, there isn’t always someone close by that can help. Martial arts have been shown to help children who deal with depression or the management of aggression. Initially, this sounds counter-productive, but the motor skills and control needed to perform Jiu Jitsu help children cope with these delicate emotions. BJJ is an effective outlet for children to channel aggression and excess energy. Kids need to learn how to win and lose gracefully daily. Motor skills are not the only benefit of Jiu Jitsu. BJJ will give children a better way to face fears and life challenges by focusing on developing behavioral aspects, such as discipline, respect, self-control, and confidence.
