KIDS
ages 5 to 8 and 9 to 14
The Ótimo's Kids Program is the perfect way for your child to mature into an adult while learning self-defense. It is also a great way of getting in shape, making friends, and having fun. As both a martial art and contact sport this is a great opportunity for your child to learn how to persevere on the mat so they can persevere in life. Our program strays away from the "win/lose contest philosophy" and focuses on instilling a hard work ethic, a positive attitude, and a love for the Jiu Jitsu life style. Classes include techniques, physical drills, games, and live training.
BEGINNERS

Designed to provide students with a solid foundation of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu through basic BJJ theory, technique, and principles. Students will be introduced to Tim's repertoire and techniques.
