Stand-Up Self Defense

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, or BJJ, is a fighting style that focuses on top-notch self-defense techniques designed to neutralize stand-up aggression. Your kids will learn the benefits of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu while wearing the classic Gi.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Basics

The fundamentals of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu focus on positional dominance and submission holds on the ground. The techniques are based on leverage, which enable a smaller person (including kids!) to effectively control a larger person.

Serious Training

In our Kids Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes, your child will be trained the same way we train adults. As a result, your child will learn effective self-defense techniques, along with all the skill and discipline needed to use them appropriately.

This has to be the most welcoming place we have ever visited.

Coach Jon Without a doubt, is one of the best instructors I know. He is approachable and treats you with respect and dignity.

We feel like we’re in a second home here because we’re treated like family!
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is more than just a physical workout; it allows you to learn and grow in a variety of ways while also making lifelong friends.

Spartan Mixed Martial Arts is a fantastic family-friendly environment. I would strongly recommend it to both children and adults! It aided my children’s development as individuals and athletes. Anyone, regardless of age, shape, size, or gender, can learn BJJ.

We would recommend this school to anyone.

My boys have been students here for the past 3 years. Not only are they learning self-defense and staying physically fit they are also learning important life skills such as self-discipline, self-control, self-confidence, coordination and strategy. Furthermore, Spartan Mixed Martial Arts focuses on proper technique to protect their students’ physical well-being as well as encouragement so their students continue to advance in their training. What our family loves most about Spartan Mixed Martial Arts is their desire to make all clients feel like “family” rather than an “income”. We would recommend this school to anyone.
