Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Imagine a martial art where a sleeve grip can determine the outcome of an entire match. Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a game of control, leverage, and strategy where every grip, movement, and decision matters.
CLASS Structure
Every class is designed to help students build practical skills while developing strength, confidence, and problem-solving abilities.
Warm-Up
Classes begin with movements that prepare your body for training. These may include exercises that improve balance, coordination, mobility, and the fundamental movements used in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Unlike a traditional fitness class, our warm-ups are designed to directly support the techniques you'll be learning that day.
Instruction
After warming up, instructors demonstrate the techniques and concepts for the class. Students learn step-by-step details, proper mechanics, and the reasoning behind each movement. We focus on practical techniques that can be applied in real training situations.
Drilling
Students then work with training partners to practice the techniques in a controlled environment. This allows everyone to develop muscle memory, improve timing, and ask questions while receiving guidance from instructors.
Live Training
Most classes include some form of live training, often called "rolling" or sparring. This is where students safely apply what they've learned against a resisting partner. Beginners are introduced gradually and are never expected to know everything right away.
Got Questions?
