Adult classes

    gi

    Gi classes focus on traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training while wearing the kimono (gi). Students learn techniques that use grips on the uniform for control, submissions, and defense, building both technical skill and a deeper understanding of the art. Training in the gi will teach you how to use these grips in both self-defense and competition Jiu-Jitsu situations.

    No-Gi

    No-Gi classes focus on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu techniques without the traditional uniform. Training is done in athletic wear such as rash guards and shorts, emphasizing grips on the body, solid positioning, and fluid movement for control and submissions.
