Jiu Jitsu Classes now forming - Class Styles & Pricing
Gi jiu jitsu is a traditional style of Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) that involves wearing a uniform called a gi.
The word "gi" means "clothes" in Japanese. In Brazilian jiu jitsu, a gi is the robe-style top and drawstring pants that make up the discipline's formal uniform. A jiu jitsu gi differs from gis (or kimonos) in other disciplines.

No-gi jiu-jitsu is a variation of Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) that's practiced without the traditional gi uniform. In no-gi jiu-jitsu, competitors wear form-fitting athletic clothes like rash guards and board shorts, and are not allowed to grip their opponent's clothing.

Build confidence, coordination, & teamwork
Kids have access to so many activities these days. A common need in all of them is the power of confidence. With 2-4 days of jiu-jitsu a week, each child will have the ability to compete in jiu-jitsu or use the mindset to go into other activities or sports with more vigor and intensity. Jiu-Jitsu builds a "never give up" attitude. We have classes for ages 4-16.
