Real Jiu-Jitsu, Real Confidence

Juniors students train at a higher technical level than LC2 — controlled positional sparring is introduced, and the curriculum starts to look a lot like the adult GB1 program.

Optional competition preparation is available for students who want to test their skills at local and regional events.
