Our classes start with a warm-up that includes energizing activities like running, jumping jacks, and various exercises to get the blood flowing. We believe that learning should be enjoyable, and that’s the cornerstone of our approach.
Ground and floor drills focus on isolated Jiu Jitsu movements, fostering coordination, core strength, and muscle memory. These foundational skills form the basis for your child’s journey into Jiu Jitsu.
Our experienced instructors guide your child through technical movements, demonstrating techniques and encouraging muscle memory and fluidity. We emphasize repetition and understanding, ensuring your child can seamlessly execute these techniques.
Beyond individual moves, our classes teach children how to connect techniques into an overall strategy. Understanding when to apply defensive versus offensive tactics is a crucial aspect of their development on the mat and is important for children’s self-defense classes.
Classes conclude with live training or “sparring” in a controlled environment. This lets your child simulate the learned techniques in a dynamic setting, reinforcing their skills with different sparring partners. At Solid Base, safety and discipline are paramount during sparring sessions.
Head Instructor Ricardo Oliveira, with a legacy of building champions, is dedicated to instilling a champion mentality in every child. Beyond physical skills, our goal is to leave a lasting legacy of wholesome champions on and off the mats.
