Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Self Defense
Adult Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting with the goal of gaining a dominant position and using joint-locks and chokeholds to force an opponent to submit. It promotes the principle that a smaller, weaker person using the appropriate amount of leverage and proper technique can successfully defend themselves against a bigger, stronger attacker. This class is for all levels of experience from beginner to advanced and is for male and female students 18+ — Jordan Tabb
Young Adult (13-17) Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Jiu-Jitsu for teens teaches self defense and competitive grappling skills, builds confidence and camaraderie. Students learn how to defend themselves against a bigger, stronger attacker without resorting to "deadly force." Our teen students also learn how to recognize risky situations, seek help when they are threatened, and confront bullying and other problems frequently experienced by middle and high school students. New students should contact the instructor. Class time 4:30 or 6:00 PM, depending on instructor placement. — Jordan Tabb
