The type of martial art taught at the Lancaster Brazilian Jiu-Jistu Academy decended from Japan and was adapted for real world self defense by Helio Gracie. Master Gracie concepts allowed a smaller person, utilizing leverage, to defeat a larger strong opponent.
The discipline and self confidence that kids aquire in our programs empowers them to more effectively handle problems including bullying. We help kids develop active, healthy lifestyles and build character, self-esteem and interpersonal skills necessary for peaceful conflict resolution while stressing the importance of safety. But more importantly to them, they’ll be having fun, getting fit and learning one of the most effective and powerful martial arts being taught today.
What sets Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu apart from other martial arts is it’s empahsis on practicality and real-world performance. Your child in not going to memorize forms or kata. They will not learn to chop and kick the air or break boards. They are going to learn realistic and proven techniques for self defense, just like adults, in a fun, friendly and safe atmosphere.
