Kids Program Detail: Youth Karate - In our Youth Karate classes, we teach how to strike with power, move with balance and coordination, and avoid being hit. We employ traditional training methods (forms/kata, repetition, emphasis on proper technique and body mechanics) while stressing the practical application for self-defense to develop a solid foundation for martial arts proficiency as an adult. Forms (kata) serve as our link to traditional training methods and is a proven method for developing powerful stances and understanding of body mechanics. We supplement karate with Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. This is NOT a mixed martial arts class. The focus is on self-defense, not sport. Gracie Bullyproof - We teach the Gracie Bullyproof program consisting of the Little Champs course for 5-7 year olds and the Jr. Grapplers course for 8-12 year olds. Our focus is on self-defense, not sport. Our Certified Training Centers in Chesapeake, Norfolk, and Virginia Beach are the exclusive providers of these exceptional courses developed by the famous Gracie University in Torrance, California.

Woman Only Program Detail: Women Empowered® is the official Gracie self-defense program for women based on the techniques of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ).

You can start the program at any time and participate in any class without previous experience.
