Jujitsu:
Frequently known as "The Gentle Art," jujitsu is a self-defense system crafted to counteract aggression by employing escapes, joint manipulations, throws, and constriction techniques. Emphasizing the fundamental principles of balance over brute strength, jujitsu is universally accessible, catering to individuals of any age, gender, or physical capacity. These techniques are designed to address various forms of aggression, affording defenders the capability to gauge their response appropriately to the situation at hand. Through this system, students are empowered to cultivate self-confidence.

Capoeira:
Capoeira originated as an Afro-Brazilian martial art, initially evolving among African slaves in colonial Brazil. This distinctive discipline is characterized by agile and intricate movements, frequently performed on the ground or in inverted positions. Celebrated for its seamless blend of martial arts, dance, music, and acrobatics, Capoeira fosters attributes such as strength, coordination, self-confidence, musical talents, flexibility, endurance, self-awareness, and an overall sense of confidence.

Our Older Active Self-Defense Class is designed specifically for adults aged 55 and up who want to stay active, build confidence, and learn practical self-defense skills in a safe, supportive environment. This class focuses on balance, mobility, awareness, and simple, effective techniques that don’t rely on strength or speed.
