Teens

Our teens classes provide the opportunity develop coordination, strength, fitness, self defence and interpersonal skills. Jiu Jitsu is very different to other martial arts such as Tae Kwon Do, Karate or other sports because it does not require a high level of strength or athleticism to become highly skilled or successful. It is based on the principles that a smaller, weaker person can defend themselves against a larger, stronger opponent, therefore being a very effective form of self defence for women and young adults. Our community will welcome new comers with open arms and provide a fun, welcoming, respectful and challenging environment to learn Jiu Jitsu.

Kids

Our kids classes provide a fun and challenging environment to develop coordination, physical literacy, strength, fitness, self defence and social skills. Our structured program provides a consistent learning environment from which the student can build on week to week and gain the skills to take on life’s challenges. Your child will learn fundamental jiu jitsu skills and self defence techniques, while also developing self-confidence and resilience. We maintain a disciplined and respectful environment to learn Jiu Jitsu while allowing the children to learn through play and participate in activities and games.
