About

Brazilian jiu-jitsu and self-defense classes starting at age 4, with separate programs for Little Warriors (4-7), Warriors (8-12), teens, and adults. Professor Helton Silva runs a family-style gym where multiple generations train together, and the approach builds from basic positions for the youngest kids up to advanced submissions for teens. Your kid will work through a belt system appropriate for their age group, learning gi and no-gi techniques in small classes organized by skill level. The gym welcomes beginners and offers a homeschool program three days a week. Amazon also runs a free monthly women's self-defense class for the community.
