Our Services

Gi - bjj

  • Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) in the Gi (traditional kimono) allows practitioners to grip the collar, sleeves, and pants, creating more opportunities for sweeps, submissions, and positional control.

  • Demands precision and patience, as grips slow the pace and deepen strategic complexity.

  • Training in the Gi develops strong fundamentals and grip strength.

  • It’s a disciplined, methodical art rooted in tradition and technical mastery.

Nogi - jiu jitsu

  • Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) No-Gi is practiced without the traditional kimono, typically wearing rash guards and leggings and/or shorts.

  • No-Gi sharpens reflexes and adaptability, encouraging quick thinking and explosive technique execution.

  • It features faster, more dynamic movement replacing the grips on fabric to grips on wrist, heels and head.

  • No-Gi heavily relies on body control, pushes speed, athleticism, and transitions.

  • It closely resembles wrestling and submission grappling, making it popular in mixed martial arts (MMA).

Yoga

COMING SOON:

  • Hatha, Ashtanga, and Free Flow yoga each offer unique approaches to movement and mindfulness.

  • Hatha is slow and steady, ideal for building a strong foundation.

  • Ashtanga follows a set sequence, promoting strength, discipline, and endurance.

  • Free Flow, or Vinyasa, is creative and fluid, linking breath with movement in dynamic sequences.

  • New classes opens soon, offering something for every level and intention in a yoga practice. Sign up for the waiting list (contact).
