Monster Kids
Monster Kids is our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program for children ages 8 to 12. It picks up where Little Monsters (ages 4 to 7) leaves off: kids learn real grappling technique, how to control a training partner safely, and how to stay calm under pressure. Every class follows a familiar structure so kids know what to expect: a warm-up built around movement and coordination, technique taught step by step, partner drills, and supervised live training. The week mixes Gi classes, in the traditional Jiu-Jitsu uniform, with No-Gi classes, so kids learn both sides of the sport. Jiu-Jitsu is a sport kids can grow with for years. It teaches them to handle bullying with confidence and control instead of striking, builds focus and respect on the mat, and gives them a team of friends who push each other to improve. The program runs at MMA Monsters under Head Coach Valdir Araújo, a BJJ black belt and veteran of UFC's The Ultimate Fighter. No experience is needed. Start with a 1-week trial and see if your child loves it.
What You'll Gain:
- Confidence and self-esteem
- Anti-bullying skills without striking
- Focus and discipline
- Strength, flexibility and coordination
Jiu-Jitsu
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art and combat sport that teaches smaller individuals how to defend themselves against larger opponents through leverage, technique, and timing. Often called "the gentle art," BJJ emphasizes ground fighting and submission holds. Our Jiu-Jitsu program focuses on practical self-defense, physical fitness, and mental discipline. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to compete, our experienced instructors will guide you through every step of your journey. Train in both Gi (traditional uniform) and No-Gi (without uniform) styles to develop a well-rounded grappling game that translates to real-world situations and mixed martial arts.
What You'll Gain:
- Improved self-confidence
- Full-body conditioning
- Stress relief and mental focus
- Practical self-defense skills
Judo
Judo, meaning "gentle way," is a modern martial art, combat sport, and Olympic discipline that originated in Japan. It emphasizes throwing techniques, pins, joint locks, and chokes. Our Judo program teaches traditional techniques passed down through generations while incorporating modern training methods. Students learn discipline, respect, and effective self-defense skills through the practice of throws, groundwork, and kata. Judo builds physical strength, mental resilience, and teaches valuable life lessons about perseverance and respect for others.
What You'll Gain:
- Olympic sport training
- Excellent physical conditioning
- Traditional martial arts discipline
- Effective throwing techniques

Our Boxing MMA program combines the sweet science of boxing with mixed martial arts training.

This program builds incredible cardiovascular fitness, hand-eye coordination, and striking power. Whether you want to compete in boxing or MMA, or simply get in the best shape of your life, our Boxing MMA classes will challenge and develop you. Train with heavy bags, speed bags, pads, and sparring to develop real fighting skills and unmatched conditioning.
What You'll Gain:

Little Monsters
Little Monsters is our martial arts program for children ages 4 to 7. Classes are built around Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, taught through games and drills designed for young kids, so they learn real technique while having fun and burning off energy. At this age the goal is bigger than technique. Kids practice listening to their coach, taking turns, following directions and working with a partner, skills that carry over to home and school. They also learn how to fall safely, stand up for themselves and handle bullying with confidence. Alongside Jiu-Jitsu basics, kids are introduced to Judo-style throws and falls and basic striking movements for a well-rounded foundation. Classes alternate between Gi days, in the traditional Jiu-Jitsu uniform, and No-Gi days. The program is led by Head Coach Valdir Araújo, a BJJ black belt and veteran of UFC's The Ultimate Fighter. At age 8, kids move up to Monster Kids. No experience is needed. Start with a 1-week trial and see if your child loves it.
What You'll Gain:
- Listening skills and focus
- Discipline and respect
- Anti-bullying skills
- Physical fitness and coordination
