What to do when a fight ends up on the ground.

- Wednesday and Thursday Gi, 4:30 and 6:30 pm
Most scuffles end up on the ground. Jiu jitsu is the part of the curriculum that deals with exactly that: how to stay calm, control the situation, escape, and get back to your feet. It uses leverage rather than strikes, which is what makes it the safest way to train at full effort against a resisting partner. Open to everyone from age 5 up, four times a week, in both Gi and No Gi.
What you will learn
In this class.
Escapes
How to get out from underneath someone bigger, off the wall, or out of a hold, without panicking.
Positional control
Staying safe on the ground and controlling where a struggle goes, which is how you end a problem without hurting anyone.
Leverage over strength
Angles, frames and body mechanics that let a smaller person neutralize a larger one.
Composure under pressure
Live training against a partner who is genuinely resisting. Students learn to think while uncomfortable, which is the skill that transfers furthest off the mat.
A typical class
What to expect.
Warm-up and movement drills, technique of the day, then positional rounds where students work the technique against light resistance. No striking, so students can train hard without taking damage. Monday and Tuesday are No Gi, Wednesday and Thursday are Gi.
Your first two classes are free. Wear comfortable athletic clothes, bring water, and arrive a few minutes early so we can show you around.
Questions
About Jiu-Jitsu.
What is the difference between Gi and No Gi?
Gi classes train in the traditional uniform, where grips on the cloth are part of the game. No Gi trains without it, so control comes from body position rather than fabric. Training both makes you better at each, and you are welcome to do one or the other.
Is jiu jitsu safe for kids?
It is one of the safest martial arts for children precisely because there is no striking. Training is supervised, partners are matched by size and experience, and intensity is controlled.
Do adults train in this class too?
Yes. Jiu jitsu here is open to ages 5 and up, so it is one of the classes where a parent and child can both be on the mat.
