............................................
This program focuses mainly on a mix of styles, techniques and strategies needed for self-defense, presented in a format that blends martial art and western sport-style settings.
Mondays will cover jiujitsu (ground self-defense), Tuesdays will cover kickboxing (stand-up/striking self-defense) and Thursdays will be when all of it is combined (to include wrestling as well).
Thursday’s session will be run by former undefeated MMA professional athlete/fighter and 3rd Degree Jiu Jitsu black belt, Professor Jason Bukich.
Our program offers a healthy balance of character development, physical education and skills training. Self-defense is a core component but we believe in and encourage a non-violent resolution to conflict when possible.
Children have fun, but at the same time are challenged to work hard, persevere and ultimately achieve goals.
