Classes

We offer four different classes during the week. Each with it's own focus and targeted to specific groups.

Kids (5-8)

Lil' Orca's

This class is focused on basic skill development in a play based environment. It follows a simple structure; We engage in a play based warm up. We do one focused technique or skill for the day. We end with a game that reinforces that skill or other skills that we have learned. This class has two coaches with a ratio of 7 students to every one adult. This is done in sessions with each session lasting 12 weeks. (We run classes September to May! The summers are for kids being kids and being outside)

Kids (9-12)

Killer Whales

This class is focused on basic skill development with a heavier focus on correct technique and application of that technique. This follows a structure that mimics an adult class in a kid friendly manner; We engage in a play based warm up. We go over one or two focused techniques or skills. We end the class with focused application of that skill and other skills learned in previous years in friendly randori or sparring. This class may have two coaches or may have one coach depending on the needs of the group. (We run classes September to May! The summers are for kids being kids and and being outside)

Adult (13+)

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (Gi)

This class teaches the movements, techniques and strategies to grow and learn in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. We follow best practices to allow students to accelerate their learning at a pace that makes their investment in themselves pay off. The classes are aimed at self defense and sport BJJ as we compete but we also want to be safe in the world we live in. The Gi class is done in a BJJ Gi (kimono) but it is not reliant on having one.

Adult (13+)

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (No-Gi)

This class mimic the positive aspects of the regular gi class but does not require a gi. This class is more physically demanding than the regular classes! We recommend No-Gi as a primary resource for those looking for sport BJJ and self defense as a secondary goal.
