Adult Evolution Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Lead by IBJJF 3rd degree Black Belt Dan Guillemette Evolution BJJ is designed to provide students with a solid base in Brazilian jiu-jitsu through theories, techniques and principles. Our classes incorporate both fundamentals and drills designed to show students how to use the fluidity of movement, transitions and offensive/defence strategies to improve their game. You can equate these manoeuvres to a form of kinetic chess where a submission hold is the equivalent of checkmate.
Adult No Gi Jiu-Jitsu
Our no gi jiu-jitsu program focuses on learning and applying the fundamentals of Brazilian jiu-jitsu without the traditional gi (kimono). Also known as “Submission Wrestling” this program is often the base for students preparing to compete in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). Our n -gi program is a mix of BJJ, Freestyle Wrestling, Greco Romaine Wrestling, as well as some Japanese styles.
Women’s Only Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
As a martial art BJJ is designed to allow the weak to defeat the strong so BJJ is ideal for women who want to learn how to protect themselves. The women's BJJ program combines a self-defence component with a focus on techniques that can be realistically used against a more powerful opponent as well as learning the sport of BJJ. The class also has a strong fitness component that is unparalleled to classes taught in traditional gyms.
Judo
Judo is a way of life, a martial art, combat sport created in Japan in 1882 by Jigoro Kano.
