We sure do! Bully Blockers™ is our kids program starting at age 3 through 12. We offer Mat Minis (ages 3-5), Mat Movers (ages 5 through 8), Mat Masters (ages 8 through 12) and our invite-only Grounded Grapplers (~9+).

As long as your child can work comfortably together with another child in an "up close and personal" activity such as grappling, they're good to go! Bully Blockers™ is a non-violent, self-defense program that instills in your child the confidence, awareness and ability to stand up for themselves. The greatest value in martial arts training is not in learning how to fight, but rather in developing the best of your character and sharing it with others. To ensure that your child cultivates the highest level of discipline, integrity, and honor on their Jiu-Jitsu journeys, we have implemented our Mat Mindset Program. The 12-month program is comprised of six chapters. During each Jiu-Jitsu class we spend a few minutes discussing the featured character trait and point out the simple things they can do to “activate the trait” in their daily lives.

When you sign up and eventually come to class, simply wear something comfortable that you don't mind moving around in such as sweatpants and a t-shirt. A pair of flip flops is also a good idea in case you have to use the rest room and return to the mat.

Yes. We offer a 10 calendar day free trial. Within those 10 days, come to as many classes as you like to see if it's a good fit. If you find that we're not a good fit, no problem, just let us know and we'll close out the account. No money spent.

The Sweet 16 course (ages 13+) is our beginner program for adults. In this program, we take 16 courses to learn and drill foundational, self-defense techniques in a fun, safe, and cooperative environment.

Each one-hour lesson addresses one standing and one ground self-defense technique, which are further broken down into simplified drills or “slices” to facilitate the learning process. You can start the program at any time and participate in any class without previous experience and, since safety is our number one concern, there is no competitive sparring in this program.

After earning your first stripe, you are invited to our Flow Foundations class which we introduce basic (grappler vs grappler) techniques and begin sparring.

​Members receive an attendance card so that progress can be tracked with transparency and structure.
