TRADITIONAL MARTIAL ARTS

✘ Fights fire with fire

Most traditional martial arts rely on striking techniques like punches and kicks for self-defense. While this may seem effective, it often results in both parties getting hurt. Additionally, children who learn these techniques may misuse them, potentially leading to harmful behavior like bullying.

✘ Application through practice

Training is usually practiced through form with no resistance with sparring coming much later on. This in our opinion can create a false sense of security since real-life situations are rarely predictable or cooperative.

✘ Emphasis on the art

While traditional martial arts place heavy emphasis on form and technique, practical self-defense application is often overlooked. Students may excel in aesthetics but lack the confidence and skills needed in real-world scenarios.

BJJ

✓ Fights fire with water

Brazilian Jiujitsu is defensive by nature. This means all techniques concentrate on control and diffusion. We utilize no strikes, and put emphasis on defusing confrontations first through words, then if necessary, nonviolent neutralizing techniques

✓ Practice through application

BJJ allows students to train with resistance from day one. Live sparring is a core component of every class, giving students a realistic and safe environment to apply their techniques. This builds confidence and prepares them for real-world situations.

✓ Emphasis on self defense

Our BJJ programs go beyond just practicing techniques. We teach real-life applications through scenario-based training and role-playing exercises. Students not only learn how to defend themselves physically but also how to de-escalate situations verbally, promoting confidence and resilience in all aspects of life.
