Training Overview
Training consists of warm up (stretching and exercises to ready your body to move and be moved), ukemi (learning to fall and tumble), technique and skill training, and then active practice of what you learned and know.
There are over 200 techniques between white, yellow, blue, brown and black belt. Techniques vary from ground techniques (newaza), throw techniques (jujitsu and nage waza), joint locks and manipulation (aiki jitsu), weapon defense (club, knife and gun) and striking and escapes. Though class structure is relatively consistent, what each class focuses on will vary based on student level and needs.
Students train with the same belt level at times, but we also believe in mixing it up so that you get exposed to upper and lower belts. Even black belt students and instructors participate in training. Partner variety is a significant aspect of developing your ju jitsu and we are sure to mix it up as much as possible.
