Kids Program Detail: Many parents specifically seek out Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for its self-defense practicality, safety, and the valuable lessons it teaches about sticking it out when facing difficulty. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a great option for kids self-defense because it does not rely on striking. It allows a child to defend themselves without causing the damage that kicks and punches inflict. It allows a child to control a situation and decide the amount of force they need to apply. Oh... and it's fun. In our kids BJJ class, children are constantly running, rolling, sparring, and high-5'ing. Its a sport that allows children to progress at their own pace.

Other Programs Available: Fitness Kickboxing, Alternative Fitness, Krav Maga
