Adult BJJ

Adult Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Ages 15 & Up

The cornerstone of our curriculum is our “Black Belt Training System,” which teaches comprehensive self defense utilizing techniques and philosophies from many martial art systems and styles including Ninjutsu, Japanese and Brazilian Jiu‑Jitsu, Judo, Karate, and Grappling Techniques. The lessons are broken down into easy to understand steps. Students will be able to start protecting themselves from their very first class (although, not in the confrontational way that you might imagine!) Unlike many schools that focus on pure physical methods, our programs incorporate:

  • Self defense strategy - how to avoid dangerous people and situations.
  • Conflict resolution techniques - skills that enable individuals to interact peacefully and harmoniously with others.
  • Non-harmful self defense methods - including how to control an opponent with minimal force, or personal risk.
  • Techniques utilizing leverage & redirection - enabling a smaller individual to deal with a stronger, larger opponent.

While all our programs will teach the necessary “protection skills,” the emphasis of our curriculum is on developing the skills that empower students to be top performers in life. We emphasize the development of our student’s character, integrity, inner-balance, peace of mind, and reaching their full potential. You can read more about our training philosophy by clicking here.

Reviews

My kids´ experience with Heijoshin Dojo has been very positive...

starstarstarstarstar

Both of my children have been taking lessons for two months. After one month of lessons, I started seeing a significant improvement in their balance, self-control, listening skills, strength, and self-discipline. The structured, respectful, and fun environment fostered by Sensei Rob and Sensei Paula make martial arts lessons a positive experience for children.

I love the fact that the classes are small and that there are two instructors in each class, which allows for small group instruction. As a result, new students can learn new techniques quickly and feel good about their progress.

Sensei Rob and Sensei Paula complement each other well as instructors. While he incorporates some humor into the lessons, she gives positive feedback and encouragement to the students. This creates a positive learning atmosphere.

Based on my experience over the last two months, I would highly recommend Heijoshin Dojo to those wishing to enroll their children in martial arts classes.

I could’t have anticipated what a transformative experience I was embarking on...

starstarstarstarstar

The day I walked into Heijoshin Dojo, my expectation was to lose a few pounds, get in shape, and learn a little about “karate.” Now, 2½ years later, I’m in the best shape of my life, 15 pounds lighter, and as strong as I've ever been. I have learned how to be thrown and fall without getting injured. My balance, speed, and coordination have improved immensely. I am learning to kick, punch and block a punch, evade and control an attacker - and that doesn’t come close to explaining the personal growth I’ve experienced.

What began as a fitness experiment has turned into studying a martial art, There’s a lot of surprises in martial arts. Sensei Rob and Sensei Paula continually challenge you, both physically and mentally, and still make it fun.

The people I've met here are amazing and so supportive that class actually feels like a team sport. When you are continually challenged and work to improve your techniques, form and speed, you develop a type of discipline and confidence that carries over to all other parts of your life. This is by far the most unexpected benefit I’ve experienced from Heijoshin Dojo.

I walked past the dojo for decades and am so happy I finally walked in. Do yourself a favor and don’t wait as long as I did.
