Experienced Professors

Professors Ed and Matt are experienced in working with youths, both within and outside of the Dojo. Professor Ed spent over 15 years supervising a children’s emergency shelter and residential treatment program and is passionate about using his experience to aid in the development of our youth students.

Professor Matt spent over 30 years as a law enforcement officer, retiring as a police lieutenant, during which time he repeatedly witnessed the detrimental effects of children not engaged in a positive outlet of energy. He recognized the need for positive role models and how Jiu-Jitsu can be an opportunity for youths to build self-confidence while improving their physical fitness.

Program Goals: Ages 6 – 8

Children ages 6-8 will focus on learning and building the basic foundation of Jiu-Jitsu. This includes techniques and big-picture concepts such as teamwork and goal achievement through methods including basic instruction, interactive related games, and hands-on applications.

Program Goals: Ages 8 – 12

Children ages 8-12 will continue to build on the basic foundation of Jiu-Jitsu through more detailed instruction of the basic techniques and the introduction of more advanced techniques. We incorporated goal-related games, hands-on applications, and more in-depth discussions of the core values.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is one of the few martial arts that delivers on the theory that a smaller person can defend himself or herself with proper technique. Through our Adult Program, you will learn BJJ as a complete martial art, including techniques from the standing position to the ground, and how to use your skills to minimize the size, power, and leverage length advantage of a larger opponent.

Our self-defense classes are open to all genders and are especially encouraged for women who want to build confidence and practical safety skills. These sessions are designed for every fitness level and provide strategies you can apply in real-world situations.

No prior experience is required—our instructors will guide you step by step through the fundamentals, empowering you with the knowledge and techniques to stay safe and feel more confident in your daily life.

Private lessons are available for individuals and groups, including women-only sessions for those who prefer a more focused setting.
