Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have questions about BJJ classes for kids or kids’ self-defense classes? Check out some of our most frequently asked below:

What is BJJ?

BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) is a form of martial arts that focuses on the skill of taking your opponent to the ground with the use of grappling, submission holds, and ground fighting so that you will be in control and in a dominant position. Our focus is on self-defense and anti-bullying, along with the basic art form of Jiu-Jitsu.

Will BJJ Teach My Kids To Be Aggressive?
