Details: While many self-defense systems come and go, a good self-defense strategy (which is rooted in science) will last a lifetime. Rather than focusing on short term solutions like strength, fitness, power and speed to defend against a bigger, stronger, more athletic attacker, Gracie Jiu-Jitsu employs techniques that rely on proper timing and maximum leverage to help you get out of harms way. Fast. This strategy or “philosophy” translates throughout every single movement, action and technique in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and has proven itself effective in all areas of human combat over the last 85 years.

Kids Program Detail: The goal of the Gracie Bullyproof program is to instill in your child unshakable confidence so they can overcome bullies without violence. Due to the non-violent nature of the techniques, CNN, ABC, NBC, and Oprah have featured the Gracie Bullyproof program as one of the few effective counter-measures to bullying for children between the ages of 7 and 13. We will teach your child to use verbal assertiveness to deter bullies and several non-violent self-defense techniques to stay safe if physically assaulted. Importantly, we don’t teach how to punch or kick, since this often does more harm than good. Instead, we use leverage-based control holds to neutralize threats without violence. Numerous school districts have embraced the defensive nature of the Gracie Bullyproof techniques as a reasonable, nonviolent response to bullying and some even host Gracie Bullyproof classes on campus! The bottom line is: we will prepare your child to defend themselves against bullies without turning them into one.
