Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a grappling-based martial art whose central theme is the skill of controlling a resisting opponent in ways that force him to submit. Due to the fact that control is generally easier on the ground than in a standing position, much of the technique of BJJ is centered around the skill of taking an opponent down to the ground and wrestling for dominant control positions from where the opponent can be rendered harmless.

While group classes are an established way to teach BJJ largely because of the diversity of training partners, private lessons are a perfect complement to your practice. The benefits of private lessons include scheduling flexibility, personal attention, and linear presentation of techniques.

Private lessons are taught by Professor Vinicius Agudo and the individual attention received will not only ensure that you get world class training but also each technique is done with the utmost precision and focus on detail.

Our Fundamentals class is designed for beginners with little or no experience. Here, you will learn the basic moves, positions, and the fundamentals of BJJ. This class will help you learn step by step techniques that are essential to build a strong foundation in your BJJ practice. We believe that this class is very important and we encourage beginner students to review and drill these moves as often as they can.

As parents, we all know that kids need to stay active and learn how to be a part of a team. Martial arts are a great way for kids to do both these things, but the added benefit is that it's a year-round program. Instead of seasonal sports where progress is slower, kids who participate consistently in a martial arts program will see guaranteed changes in behavior at home and school.
