OUR PHILOSOPHY
We pride ourselves on respecting each other, and having fun while learning the art of Judo and Brazilian Jiujitsu. We don’t tolerate rough play or bullies and we are proud to say that we are 100% meathead free.
Learning the arts of Judo and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a lifelong journey. We tailor each and every session to push you a tiny bit out of your comfort zone so that you are always growing and learning on and off the mat.
Grappling has helped us so much in our lives and we know it is going to help you and your children as well.
