............................................
Our Youth Jiujitsu classes are taught by 3rd Degree Jiujitsu Black Belt, Jason Bukich, 1st Degree Jiujitsu Black Belt belt, Adrian Anorve, and Jiujitsu Brown Belt, Jacob Cho.
Our program offers a healthy balance of character development, physical education and skills training. The bar is set high as we believe in cultivating confidence and maximizing individual potential. Self-defense is a core component but we believe in and encourage a non-violent resolution to conflict when possible.
Children have fun, but at the same time are challenged to work hard, persevere and ultimately achieve goals. Self-respect and self-confidence come from the truth of consistent earnest efforts, and the skills that are acquired as a result of those efforts.
WHAT IS JIU JITSU
Jiu Jitsu (Jujutsu) literally translates as the gentle art and focuses largely on grappling and ground fighting (wrestling). Jiu Jitsu utilizes leverage and technique to control position and apply submissions. It's modern day roots can be traced back to early Judo from Japan. The art was significantly transformed in Brazil, and somewhat redefined by the Gracie family in the early 1900s. Jiu Jitsu is an effective and practical method of self-defense.
Our Youth Jiu Jitsu curriculum also includes Bully Defense and some rudimentary striking. Character development is a core component of our system. Contact us to learn more.
