About Us
More FUN, better WORKOUT, faster LEARNING
Jiu Jitsu is soaring in popularity over the last several years. From young athletes to celebrities to moms and dads, everyone is wanting a real martial art that is fun and gives a great workout. However, many jiu jitsu schools are using boring repetitive drilling against non resisting partners that provide almost no level of fitness or fun. In addition, many instructors don't follow any sort of curriculum and instead just teach random flashy moves they saw on instagram. We at Deep Water Jiu Jitsu strive to be different.
By combining modern training techniques such as live drilling or task based games with traditional compliant drilling, the team at Deep Water Jiu Jitsu has created an environment that promotes learning in a way that emphasizes fun while at the same time pressure testing to ensure a level of fitness, problem solving, creativity and resilience rarely found in other gyms.
Kids Jiu Jitsu
The benefits of training jiu jitsu for kids is massive. At Deep Water Jiu Jitsu children gain confidence, self-discipline and the problem solving skills they can use for life. Not to mention the self defense skills and increased level of physical fitness. Deep Water Jiu jitsu is a ground based martial art that has roots with Brazilian jiu jitsu, catch wrestling and judo. Our instructors will guide your child through an age and skill appropriate rotating curriculum building fitness, goal setting and cooperative learning skills mixed with fun games to keep kids engaged in learning. We also support kids competing in tournaments which encourages a strong work ethic and sense of achievement.
Adult Jiu Jitsu
We use age/skill appropriate rotating curriculums to maximize student learning. With dedicated fundamentals classes beginners never have to worry about jumping straight into the Deep Water of jiu jitsu. Instead they will be guided by experienced instructors on the building blocks of jiu jitsu and submission grappling as well as self defense. Lots of focused jiu jitsu games allow live action in a safe and effective way. This class covers all the skills needed to achieve your blue belt*. Students often stay in this class for their first 12-18 months though many advanced students also participate to keep their fundamentals sharp and to help beginners get acclimated.
Our mixed level classes follow the same basic curriculum but also include open roll* (live sparring) time at the end of class. *Live open sparring is necessary before becoming a blue belt.
Intermediate/advanced classes build off the fundamentals classes with more submissions, more takedowns and more advanced positioning and transitions. Lots of task based games and live sparring ensure the best workout and the most engaging class for experienced practitioners.
Tots Jiu Jitsu (ages 4-6)
Our Tots program runs in 6 week cycles. Classes are held on Tuesdays from 4:15 to 5pm. This class introduces the children to the basic class structure with a focus on building listening skills, fitness and self control. Your little one will learn the fundamentals of wrestling and jiu jitsu through drills and games designed to be fun and engaging while staying safe under the watchful eyes of qualified instructors. This class is a great lead in to our full kids program.
Women in Jiu Jitsu
Women are still a minority in many jiu jitsu gyms. As this gym is owned and operated by a female jiu jitsu practitioner, the goal is to create a safe space for women to train. Self-defense, body control and movement, and feeling comfortable and being clear headed when on the bottom of a larger opponent builds women's confidence.
"As a smaller female, I had to learn more technical approaches to jiu jitsu to combat a stronger opponent. I am looking to create an inclusive gym that gives everyone these skills for life and to make their jiu jitsu better." - Elizabeth Maxwell
