Jiu jitsu works every muscle in your body allowing you to notice a difference almost immediately. You will recognize how much easier it is to lose weight and keep it off. Jiu Jitsu develops amazing endurance, and the best part is that you will not even notice how hard you are working! One of the most difficult aspects of endurance training is that it's too easy to focus on how much time we are on the treadmill or how many calories we have burned.
Women

Not comfortable training with guys? We totally understand. While women are obviously allowed to attend all classes at MGA, we offer a Women's Only program in the morning. Having dedicated women's only Jiu Jitsu classes allows us to provide a more comfortable environment for beginners. We are extremely lucky to have Coach Lenna be the head of our Women's Program.

It doesn't matter if your child is short, tall, big, fast, slow, or small. There are so many techniques in Jiu Jitsu allowing for every size and shape of person to be successful. Confidence is built through accomplishing hard things. When your child masters a skill and executes a move against a fully resisting training partner; it's because of the hard work they put in.

In Jiu Jitsu Class, often shortened to just "Gi, " students will wear what looks like a traditional martial arts uniform called a Gi. However, it is much heavier duty than those typically worn in striking based martial arts.
The Jiu Jitsu Gi serves two main purposes; one is to represent clothing you wear every day (Jacket, Pants, etc) and the other is to provide a sturdy material for learning and practicing techniques that would otherwise rapidly destroy common, everyday street clothing.Of the two styles, Gi training is typically a little slower pace and also provides for many amazing techniques.
