Brazilian  Jiu J itsu 
Basic   classes
The focal point of the basic class is entirely on technique. The class focuses on learning and applying fundamental techniques of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Students practice various techniques using a traditional Gi, also known as a kimono. Students learn and practice submissions, escapes, positioning and self defense. The basics class is directed not only for the beginner but also for the more advanced students to sharpen basic techniques. When a student joins the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program, he/she is monitored by the instructors and is informed when ready to advance. We require this because there are core techniques that are essential to learn before progress in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is possible. These are the techniques that are emphasized in the beginner classes.

Please check the schedule for class specifics. This class is designed for students interested in advanced techniques for competition and self-defense. Students learn and practice advanced sweeps, submissions, escapes and counters, how to reverse an attacker and how to force their opponent into submission. Detailed instruction in technique, specific drilling, and position advancement are the main focus of this class. Competition is encouraged, but not required.

Our Girl's in Gi's class is a women only program focused on the self defense element of the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. If you have been looking for something to add to your martial arts training, looking for fun fitness, or you want to try something new come out and try our BJJ program.

BRAZILIAN  JIU  JITSU
KIDS  CLASSES

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is one of the fastest growing and is quickly becoming one of the  most popular martial arts in the world. This system focuses on grappling and ground defense, with an emphasis on fitness and fun.

Jiu Jitsu practice contains a balanced combination of cardiovascular and resistance training that is great for children. Northwest Jiu Jitsu academy emphasizes a safe and progressive system taught by highly trained professionals. We keep the training fun and engaging by integrating a child's natural need to play. As children become proficient in the art their strength, flexibility and balance improves—and success follows. With success on the mat comes improved esteem and confidence in life.

We award up to 10 colored belts to kids, white through green. Each color has four stripes (or stages of training). Stripes are awarded for participation in 12 classes. After the 4th stripe and 12 additional classes, the students are then tested on their knowledge and awarded a new belt. 

SUBMISSION  WRESTLING
NO  GI  CLASSES

Submission Grappling deals with the principles of fighting in close range of the opponent. The class is based on techniques of traditional Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and the fundamental principles remain the same. Adjustments are made to compensate for the lack of a uniform to hold on to. In Submission Grappling you learn a whole new set of grips. The wrists, back of the neck, ankle, knee and elbow grips are all different than traditional Gi grips. Students learn takedowns, positions, transitions, escapes, reversals and how to apply and defend against joint locks, chokes and other submission holds.

Students develop skills that are useful in real self defense situations as well as in the sporting environment. This gives students a new dimension to their existing skill set. It may be trained in solely or in conjunction with traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes. We think that it is important for students to understand both aspects, considering most tournaments offer both gi and No-Gi divisions.

No-Gi training makes for a faster and more dynamic style of fighting. If you are interested in a good fitness program or just to be a more complete fighter, the No-Gi program offers a good combination of both.
