Adult Classes

Waza Brazilian Jiu Jitsu's adult program is designed for men and women of all ages and abilities. Waza Brazilian Jiu Jitsu offers eight adult classes, six days a week, including both morning and evening classes. (See the schedule for details). Classes offer a mixture of gi and no-gi techniques that are beneficial to those looking to improve their physical fitness (e.g., strength, conditioning, agility and flexibility), compete in BJJ tournament or MMA competitions, or learn self defense. In addition to these benefits, BJJ classes offer a great way to meet and network with new people, lose weight and relieve stress, and do something interesting, fun, and challenging.

Law Enforcement Officers and Military Personnel

Due to its effectiveness and ability to control level of violence, it is hard to find any elite military or law enforcement agency that does not incorporate Brazilian Jiu Jitsu as a serious part of their weaponless defensive tactics training program.

Waza Brazilian Jiu Jitsu offers special discounts for law enforcement officers and active military personnel. For information, please contact Derek at 916-667-3575.

Children's Classes

Kids have a natural proclivity for grappling. How often have you seen your children wrestling on the floor of your living room? Brazilian Jiu Jitsu provides a great way to channel that energy into something productive and rewarding.

Classes at Waza BJJ combine the basics of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with fun and exciting skill-oriented exercises and games to improve their gross motor skills, coordination, strength, flexibility, and agility. Besides these physical benefits and self defense skills, kids in the Waza BJJ program receive the following social benefits:

• Character development;
• Better focusing and listening skills;
• Sportsmanship;
• Goal setting;
• Self-discipline/self-control;
• Improved social and interpersonal skills;
• Greater respect for adults and peers;
• Greater confidence and self-esteem (especially in children that are shy or have been bullied in school); and
• Conflict/peer pressure management (we teach our kids to be assertive, but not aggressive)

Ultimately, we try to ensure that the kids in our program are happier and healthier and have the qualities and skills that will help them throughout their entire lives.

Private Lessons

Many students choose private lessons over group classes for a variety of reasons. Some students desire more one-on-one instruction, while others need flexibility because their schedules don't permit them the opportunity to attend group classes. Whatever the reason, private lessons provide a great opportunity to receive individualized attention, which helps to accelerate the learning process.

Private classes are scheduled upon request. For information about pricing, please contact Derek at 916-667-3575.
