What is the Kids BJJ program about?

BJJ(Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) is the best nonviolent self-defense program for kids and teens.

We will learn takedowns, falling, positional control and eventually submission holds.

In training we take the punching/kicking element out of the equation and focus mainly on grappling. Students will learn a series of techniques each session. After thorough preparation, the students implement the new technique in a controlled and supervised sparring/rolling session, where they have the opportunity to practice techniques against a resisting partner. Because we have removed dangerous punches and kicks from our training, students can spar/roll during each training session, increasing their proficiency in the sport with each class.

Sparring/Rolling is the fun part in the end of the class that the students always wait for the most!

First the students will learn the basic BJJ positions:

Mount Position A common position in Grappling and self-defense situations. We will teach students how to hold and control the position, but also how to escape from it if you are stuck in the bottom of an opponent. Achieving a mount position is always one of our goals.

Side Mount Another position that we try to reach while grappling. As with every position we will also focus how to escape this position. A typical position after we pass the guard.

Back Control This is the best position to for both self defense and in grappling competition.

Guard Position This is crucial position in Jiu-Jitsu. The Guard is an extensive series of techniques designed for a person who finds themselves on the bottom. This position employs the strength of the lower and upper body to achieve a superior position or submission. Using the guard, a small person can learn to defeat a larger person using Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu technique.

Takedowns Once the student has learned how to fall safely and is efficient in ground defense, we will practice a wide variety of wrestling takedowns.

What to expect in the first class.

Many children may feel very nervous, and shy on their first day, as with many new activities. There will be many new movements and positions that are completely foreign to them. It is completely natural to feel timid, but after a few minutes of instruction, participants are encouraged by the supportive environment and tend to relax.

The goal is always to make the class FUN! The warm up will be fast paced using BJJ related movements and games. A favorite is different animal walks that are both challenging and fun. New students are allowed to observe first and try when they feel they are ready.

Sparring and competition is not required in class but they are often what the students look forward to the most.

We enforce the belief that trying your best is winning and by not giving up, all goals can be met!

What is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?

Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art, combat sport, and a self defense system that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting. Brazilian jiu-jitsu was formed from Kodokan Judo ground fighting (Ne-Waza) fundamentals that were taught to Carlos Gracie by master Mitsuyo Maeda. Brazilian jiu-jitsu eventually came to be its own art through the experimentations, practices, and adaptation from the Judo knowledge of Carlos and Hélio Gracie, who then passed their knowledge on to their family.

BJJ promotes the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant by using leverage and proper technique, taking the fight to the ground – most notably by applying joint-locks and chokeholds to defeat the other person. BJJ training can be used for sport grappling tournaments (gi and no-gi) and mixed martial arts (MMA) competition or self-defense. Sparring (commonly referred to as "rolling") and live drilling play a major role in training, and a premium is placed on performance, especially in competition, in relation to progress and ascension through its ranking system.

Since its inception in 1914, its parent art of Judo was separated from older systems of Japanese ju-jitsu by an important difference that was passed on to Brazilian jiu-jitsu: it is not solely a martial art: it is also a sport; a method for promoting physical fitness and building character in young people; and, ultimately, a way (Do) of life.
