Fighting Foundation™ is a 27 Lesson System includes over 100 techniques that could literally save your life in a real street confrontation.  Our teaching method is an adaptation of Grand Master Hélio Gracie’s private class curriculum to be used in a group setting.  Under the strict guidance of Professor Pedro Valente, we follow the F27™ program in order to allow students to learn Grand Master Hélio’s system.  Frequent practice is essential if efficiency is to be gained in the Fighting Foundations™ class.  The key to learning Jiu-Jitsu is repetition.  The ultimate goal is to condition your subconscious with Jiu-Jitsu techniques so that you can automatically react in a critical situation.

Our goal is to build rock solid kids.  Our students may begin at age 5 and we focus on the physical, emotional and mental well-being as well as the education of our children.  Our young students develop confidence, discipline, courage, responsibility, and leadership among other essential values.

This program will follow the same self-defense curriculum as our adult’s jiu-jitsu class including grappling, throwing, striking & clinching techniques and sparring. This will also be a chance for our older kid’s ages 11 to 15 to spar with stronger, quicker and more aggressive opponents. 

The fastest and most efficient way to take full advantage of Jiu-Jitsu techniques and all its intricacies and details is by taking private lessons.  Grand Master Hélio Gracie personally designed a curriculum that enables any individual to become physically independent in only 36 lessons.

During private lessons you will learn a number of techniques against all types of street aggressions including bare hand, club, knife and gun attacks.
