Iron Sharpens Iron
The moment you step into Warrior Defense Brazilian Jiu Jitsu you will be inspired to push a little harder and believe in yourself more. Each day you will gain more confidence and become a part of a family that will support you – no matter what.
Adult Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
We can’t let the kids have all the fun! Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a martial art that proves a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend him or herself against a stronger, larger person via the proper techniques and leverage.
Most fights end up on the ground and this is where Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is extremely useful. Training both Gi and No-Gi will make you a much better grappler, filling in technical gaps and refining pressure and positioning.
We take our training very seriously, but you will also hear a lot of laughter and see many smiles on our mats!
Kids BJJ & Kids No-Gi BJJ
We help kids and teens develop the mental and physical tools necessary to defend themselves at school (without striking) or in any challenging situation.
In our integrated Kids BJJ program, youth learn to control an opponent from the ground safely, defuse physical aggression without violence, and develop unbreakable self-respect and bully-resistance.
Rolling with teammates teaches problem-solving under gentle resistance, humility, discipline, and true sportsmanship.
Mighty Warriors
Our Mighty Warriors program is a high-energy, fun class created specifically for children ages 4 to 7. Our goal is to teach them evasion, balance, and blocks—basically, how to avoid getting hit or grabbed through age-appropriate drills and activities.
They work on listening skills, following directions, cooperating with coaches, and being an encouraging training partner.
This class builds balance, body awareness, and self-confidence while setting the perfect foundation for future martial arts progression.
