Adult Classes (15+)
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu teaches that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant by using leverage and proper technique most notably by applying joint-locks and chokeholds to defeat the other person. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training can be used for sport grappling tournaments (gi and no-gi) and mixed martial arts (MMA) competition or self-defense . Sparring (commonly referred to as 'rolling') and live drilling play a major role in training, and a premium is placed on performance, especially in competition, in relation to progress and ascension through the grades/belts.
​
Classes at LCCT San Pablo begin with a warm-up routine that utilizes movements relating to and involved in the practice of BJJ. After the warm-up a specific technique is shown and students are given time to practice and ask questions while the instructor gives his attention to each student individually. After the technique, the class progresses to position specific drills or open mat sparring time where students can practice with each other and the instructor to perfect their techniques.
​
The Adult Jiu Jitsu program is Co-Ed and open for ages 15 and up.
Kids and Juniors Classes (6-15)
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is truly self-defense. The Gentle Art contains NO punches or kicks used to attack an adversary. Rather than physically beating an opponent, a Jiu Jitsu practitioner choses to control and subdue his/her opponent. This is done through leverages and techniques that can only be performed correctly by a calm and conscious mind. An enraged and aggressive adversary soon realizes that power and aggression only entangle you up further. All that energy wasted will allow a calm practitioner to redirect his/her adversarys power against him/her resulting in total submission. This is done through joint locks and chokeholds that force an aggressor to tap out (submit).
​
Our Class will teach your child or young adult the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in a fun ​and active enviornment that uses discipline and respect to unite our students as a team. Skill oriented excercise builds coordination along with practicing practical and effective self-defense techniques that build confidence and self-awareness. Oh yea... and the best part of it all is... its FUN !​
Open Mat
Open Mat is a non-structured period where students (and visitors!) are free to drill techniques, spar, ask questions, or just observe. Because of the free-flowing nature of the Open Mat periods an instructor's presence isn't guaranteed on the mat 100% of the time but there will always be someone supervising the rolls to make sure nobody gets hurt.
If you're curious about the school or Jiu Jitsu itself stopping by during Open Mat is a good way to see what it's about but is certainly not the typical class structure.
