Adult Fundamental Classes

Fundamental classes are designed to teach new students the basic principles and techniques of the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu providing students with a solid foundation in the basics of BJJ. The classes are focused on introducing students to the fundamental movements and positions, building a foundation for students to learn and grow in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Adult Advanced Classes

Advanced classes are for students who have a high level of proficiency in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. These classes focus on more advanced techniques and strategies and involve more intense training and sparring. They involve drilling specific techniques and positions in greater depth, working on developing a more refined and sophisticated understanding of the principles of Jiu-Jitsu. Helping students to continue and grow their skills.

No-Gi Classes

These Classes in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu focus on the application of BJJ techniques without the use of the traditional GI (Kimono). In these classes students wear NO-GI shorts and a rash guard top. The techniques and strategies used in NO-GI are similar to those used in traditional BJJ, but the lack of GI changes the way techniques are applied and students are required to adapt their style.
