Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a grappling-based martial art which focuses on controlling a resisting opponent using takedowns, control, and the application of chokes or joint-manipulations in ways that force them to submit.

Gi BJJ is when both competitors wear cotton kimonos which they can grip to help submit or control each other. Gi jiu-jitsu is considered the most traditiona. In Gi, the numerous grips and Gi material means an often slower pace in which lot of set ups are based on using the Gi matrerial .

No-Gi BJJ, means to grapple without the use of the traditional uniform. No-gi tends to be faster paced. In No Gi you have more wrestling focus and the ruleset allows more attacks to the legs.

Our Kids Jiu-Jitsu program introduces young children to martial arts in a safe, fun, and structured environment guided by expert instructors. Designed for the stage where children are developing coordination, emotional regulation, and social habits, each class teaches real age-appropriate self-defense while reinforcing discipline, respect, focus, confidence, and self-control. Kids improve physical coordination and build mental resilience, making Jiu-Jitsu the perfect foundation for life.
