Grappling · 13 classes a week
Jiu-Jitsu (gi)
The house's foundation. Ground fighting in the kimono, where the grip on the cloth is half the technique. The fundamentals classes are for white belts — and for anyone wanting to revisit the basics; the advanced class asks for blue or above. Gradings twice a year.
