Our Programs
Kids Jiu Jitsu
We’re proud to offer a structured, engaging Jiu Jitsu program for kids that builds more than just technique. Students develop discipline, respect, focus, and confidence through age-appropriate instruction and positive reinforcement. Our coaches are experienced in working with children and are committed to fostering a safe and fun learning environment.
Whether your child is shy, full of energy, or somewhere in between, Jiu Jitsu is a fantastic outlet for physical activity and personal development. For kids with a competitive drive, we also offer an invite-only Kids Competition Team that trains with intensity and purpose.
Adult Jiu Jitsu
Our adult program is open to everyone—from total beginners to advanced practitioners. Whether you’re training for fitness, fun, or self-defense, our classes are structured to help you grow at your own pace. You’ll learn effective grappling techniques, improve your endurance and flexibility, and become part of a welcoming, supportive community.
If your goal is competition, our instructors can help you prepare with strategy, conditioning, and advanced drills. But if you’re just looking for a great workout and new skillset, you’ll feel equally at home.

With an impressive record in local and regional tournaments, our team offers focused training, modern technique, and opportunities to train with other JG locations.
Competition builds confidence, sharpens focus, and teaches valuable life lessons about resilience and goal-setting — all in a fun, motivating environment.
Private Lessons
For students who prefer more personalized instruction or want to target specific areas of their game, we offer private sessions. Our one-on-one or small group lessons give you the chance to work closely with a coach, address problem areas, and make faster progress toward your goals.
