More about Children’s classes:
A special syllabus devised by Coach Stephen in conjunction with 2nd degree Black Belt Instructor Anthony Persosh from SPMA Australia and Master Fabricio (6 degree Black Belt) in Brazil is used during the grading to test the students. This ensures that a standardized system is in place for testing and teaching to our students.

Our classes cover techniques from Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai and Judo.
