12th street Jiu Jitsu and MMA classes

Our adult Jiu-Jitsu programs are specifically designed with each student’s personal achievement in mind. Your personal goals, such as fitness or self-defense, will be taken into account when you sign up. Our self-defense classes for men and women are a great way to practice real-world techniques while strengthening your mind and body. Students see improvement not only athletically, but also mentally as they incorporate our proven principles into their lives.

No-Gi Jiu Jitsu is fundamentally the same as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, with the main difference being the lack of material to grip. The grips provided by the BJJ uniform allow for many judo-style throws, while no-gi takedowns resemble those of Olympic style wrestling. The difference in gripping also affects the application of submission techniques on the ground.

Jiu-Jitsu is more than a self defense system. We aim to teach our students not only to defend themselves from bullies but also to instill the key traits of a life time Martial Artist: honor, respect, humility, discipline, and perseverance.  We help children become the best they can be! We focus on creating a life-changing Kids Martial Arts program that will help our students overcome the many challenges life presents.

Our Boxing and Striking classes will teach you to use your whole body as a striking weapon as you will develop accurate punches, kicks, knees, elbows, head movement, fast yet heavy strikes, smooth footwork, etc. Classes consist of bag work, footwork drills, plyometrics, and mits or pad work. We try to incorporate all forms of striking including elements from Boxing, Muay Thai, Kickboxing, MMA (mixed martial arts) and TaeKwondo. Class participants must wear hand wraps
