Programs
Tiny Champs (3-7)
Little Champs (8-11)
Juniors (12-15)
Adults
In our Tiny Champs program (ages 3 to 7), kids learn the fundamentals of jiu jitsu and are also introduced to sparring. More time is spent on proper technique and teaching your kids how to focus, problem solve, stay on track and train with purpose. Classes are 45 minutes long and take place every Tuesday and Thursday at 5:30 p.m. and Saturdays at 9 a.m. Children must be out of diapers.
Our Little Champs program (ages 8 to 11) is for our older kids and consists of a warmup, BJJ techniques and plenty of sparring. Kids in this program are working on more advanced techniques and submissions. Classes happen every Tuesday and Thursday at 4:30 p.m. and Saturdays at 10 a.m.
Our juniors (ages 12-15) follow a similar structure as the Little Champs 2, though they do spar a bit more. They train every Monday and Wednesday at 4:30 p.m and classes are one hour long. Juniors can also attend Saturday’s 11 a.m. classes.
If you are a beginner, we encourage you to attend 2-3 of our fundamentals classes for at least the first 6 weeks. They take place Mondays (11 am), Tuesdays (6:30 pm NoGi) Wednesdays (5:30 p.m.) and Saturdays (noon).
Some of our other classes are also beginner friendly, including our 11 am sessions on Tue/Thu and 6:30 am sessions on Wednesday. Members cannot attend the positional sparring class unless they are a 2-stripe white belt.
We offer advanced jiu jitsu classes on Mondays at 6 p.m., Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m. and wrestling on Thursdays at 6:30 p.m.Â
Our NoGi program is led by American Nationals Champion Joshua Bacallao, a third-degree black belt, and is the perfect complement to the gi programs offered by the academy.
The curriculum focuses more specifically on the situations and positions found in NoGi jiu jitsu, helping you become a more complete grappler. We incorporate leg locks into our NoGi classes.Â
NoGi
We have three women’s-only session per week: NoGi on Wednesdays at 3:30 pm, fundamentals on Fridays at 5:30 p.m. with Prof. Solange Reyner and NoGi on Sundays with Coach Laura Hendrickson. Young girls are also permitted to attend these sessions. If your significant other or child attends our school you can come to this class at no cost. Otherwise, it’s $10 per session.
