Class Description

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu introduces basic submission, defense, take-down, restraint, and escape techniques. Children will learn how to move and control their bodies, increase strength and fitness, and improve coordination and athleticism. They will also learn when it is appropriate to use BJJ techniques, practice self-control and respect, and work as a cooperative team member. These skills will not only improve their quality of life, but can enhance performance in other sports and activities.

A typical Youth Jiu-Jitsu class begins with a warm-up, followed by a technique demonstration/lesson. Then, students practice the technique with a partner. Pairing students of different levels requires them to teach and learn from their peers. Students improve their communicate skills and practice patience while improving their own martial arts skills. Structured games and grappling exercises put their skills to the test. We make exercise, hard work, and learning fun!

Take it to the next level. . .

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu keeps students excited about learning and progressing with a traditional belt system. Students begin as a white belt and work their way towards a green belt. After showing progress, a “stripe” is earned. After 4 stripes, the student knows they are ready to test for their next level belt. Belts are earned, not given. Each belt test has a specific set of moves and techniques that must be demonstrated. The student will know what is on the test and will practice the necessary techniques in the weeks leading up to the test. Most students can expect to test for their first belt after about 12 months of consistent attendance.

A few words from our students. . .

"Every time I walk in the gym, I am inspired by the amount of time and effort everyone puts into achieving their dreams. I love the family atmosphere. Rothwell accepts me thick or thin LOL. I've lost so much weight during the last 4 years...have gained it back...lost some more....and nobody judges EVER."

Lana

"Love this gym and love my 'gym family.' That's what you get when you train here - support, love, and people trying to be a better version version of themselves. My only regret is that I waited to try it. Don't put off starting! You will feel so good mentally and physically. Do it for you. See you there!

Nick

"The coaches are the best out there! My kids have learned so much from them. I've seen a huge boost in their confidence and abilities. The kids have developed a “never give up” attitude. Martial arts has kept their attention and has made them strive to be better all the time."

Lilly

"I was born with a heart condition that left me with only half a heart. Kickboxing and BJJ gave me the exercise my heart needed that lifting or working out on my own couldn’t do. Since taking up classes at Rothwell MMA, my cardiologist has been absolutely blown away with the health of my heart. Training here is literally saving my life.

Matt

"Rothwell MMA has been my home away from home. Every day I'm pushing. Grinding. Leaving puddles of myself on the mats. Every day is a challenge but I simply cannot wait to get in there and do work."

Mike

“I am a 22-year police veteran and currently serve as a patrol commander for a police department. I have studied martial arts for more than 20 years. I started at Rothwell MMA with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and have since added Kickboxing to my training regimen. BJJ and Kickboxing both help keep me in shape and are essential training tools for my job. My fellow gym members are friendly, and the instructors are awesome teachers.”
