It's perfect for the busy New Yorker looking to increase her personal safety while getting a fantastic workout. Jiu Jitsu includes cardiovascular and strength moves, making it an all-around workout. Speed, flexibility, and coordination and endurance all improve.

There are no rules in street self defense. You are taught to use natural reflexes and to take advantage of any resource within reach. By adapting a more street combat attitude, students are taught to use an attacker's at vulnerable points such as back of the neck, eyes, throat, knees and groin. Any tool, any trick, any move considered "dirty" in sport combat is encouraged here for true personal self defense. On top of that, students are taught to recognize their own personal strengths and to be ready to use them at any moment. This discipline results not only in improved safety, but also in increased self-awareness.

Sessions costs $140 per 1.5 hours. Purchase single sessions or save when you buy multi-session packs.
