Established in 2016, HJJ strives to provide the ideal environment for enjoying the Jiu Jitsu journey. Learn from our qualified instructors and exclusive special guests who have backgrounds in different Grappling disciplines and rulesets.
Adult Jiu Jitsu
All belt levels are welcome.
The class will consist of a BJJ oriented warmup, technique instruction based on what we are detailing for the week, drilling, and Live Rolling.
Kids Jiu Jitsu
On our schedule we have organized the age groups so that there are multiple opportunities to train during the week for different ages. We also have No-Gi classes as well as Competition Classes for those that are motivated to compete.
Judo
Judo classes will be taught by the World-Class and well respected 8th-Dan Black Belt Joe Turchiano. Sensei Joe studied at the famous Kodokan in Japan from 1960-1964 and has continued his journey in Judo ever since. Find out more info about Sensei Turchiano HERE. This is a great opportunity to learn the art of stand-up throws to enhance your Jiu-Jitsu experience. You are able to attain Judo rank in these Classes. It will be held at the same time as fundamentals on certain days.
HJJ is a certified Judomate Training Center.
Adult Jiu Jitsu Fundamentals
This Class is for Brand New Students/ White belts*
This is where you get your crash-course on the Fundamentals of BJJ. It is where you will learn the basic concepts & techniques that will carry you throughout all the belt levels. It all starts here. If you don’t have a solid foundation then you won’t be able to apply higher-level techniques, and whats worse, you won’t be truly letting Jiu-Jitsu adapt to your own unique body-type and athletic ability.
* White Belts will be in this class until an Instructor deems them ready to be able to join the Advanced Classes.
Open Mat
Open Mat will be on Sundays and other selected days on the schedule. It will be open to Advanced students and white belts who have enough experience and who has been approved by an instructor/black belt.
There will be an Instructor on the mat at all times.
This is your time to work on the techniques learned during the week, get some extra rolls in, do some conditioning work, or simply come on in and loosen up and get to know the other HJJ members that you may not see during the week.
*Open mats will be announced weekly based on Instructor availability
