BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU
Jiu Jitsu is a martial art that focuses on using leverage and technique to overcome size and strength. It is a grappling based martial art that studies pin escapes, sweeps, takedowns and submissions (joint locks and chokes). While it is a very effective self defense art, it is also commonly practiced as a sport.
Our Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program is open to people of all levels of fitness, all ages, and is very beginner friendly. We focus on training "with" each other, as opposed to training "on" each other. When trained with good control, Jiu Jitsu can be drilled and sparred at a high level of intensity, without risk of injury. Control and safety are always a priory.
Practicing Jiu Jitsu is often thought of like a mental and physical game of chess. There is a counter for every technique, and a counter for that counter. It is a very deep and rich martial art, but is also a lot of fun to train. Improved fitness, endurance, flexibility, mobility and agility are just some of the benefits of training this art. Come in and check it out for yourself!
We are proud to be affiliated with Professor Roy Harris, who is an internationally know Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instructor of the highest caliber.

JKD KICKBOXING
JKD KICKBOXING
JKD Kickboxing mixes...
The blend of these arts results in a very comprehensive and well rounded kickboxing art that is equally effective in self defense and the ring. Kick, Punch, Knee, Elbow, Clinch and Grappling ranges are all covered in this class.
We tend to categorize martial arts in three different ways, based on their focus. Some are more focused on Combative Techniques, some are more focused on Sport Techniques and some are more focused on the Art side of training. Most arts are a blend of all three categories. For example, Muay Thai is more weighted towards the Sport aspect. What makes JKD Kickboxing different from pure Muay Thai is not only the blend of arts, but also its focus on the Combative category. Both arts are highly effective in self defense situations. They are simply two different flavors of Kickboxing.
