There is no other program on Maui that attempts to provide what we have excelled at since 2018.

YOU MAY BE WONDERING:

​

Will my child like it?

Students love our fun-first approach to developing effective self-defense and meditation skills.

​​

Our in-class games, teaching stories, and meditation practices, in combination with vigorous and realistic martial arts training, set us apart from other programs and create an experience that children look forward to all week.​​​​

​​​

Will it help my child stay safe?

Yes. We will support your child to engage in mindful and safe training of some of the worlds most effective martial arts and self-defense techniques, using the most proven effective method of training, namely "live training."​

​​

Our students get additional training on how to identify, prevent, and diffuse potential conflicts using mindfulness, situational awareness, Non-Violent Communication and verbal Jiu-Jitsu, and are taught how to ensure that physical confrontation is a last resort.​

​​

Will it help my child be respectful?

Yes. Often, children are disrespectful because they are disregulated. Mindful Martial Arts training provides proprioceptive input (e.g., squeezing pressure and full exertion of large muscle groups) and mindfulness practices which directly regulate the nervous system, providing a critical foundation for calm, considerate and respectful behavior.

​

Additionally, Mindful Martial Arts discipline and traditions (e.g., our bows) further support students to be mindful, considerate, and respectful of others.

​​​

Which martial art?

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is our core art and we use the belt-grading system recommended by the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation (IBJJF). 

 

Our strong emphasis on self-defense means that we also include age-appropriate instruction in kickboxing, mixed martial arts, and practical self-defense.

​

What is Jiu-Jitsu?

Jiu-Jitsu originated from the Zen Samurai warriors of Japan who honed these techniques over centuries. If a warrior lost his sword on the battlefield and needed to engage in hand-to-hand combat, he would use Jiu-Jitsu.

​

Because his opponent would be well armored, punches and kicks would be ineffective. ​​As such, Jiu-Jitsu focuses on grappling techniques and submissions as paths to victory.

 

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has proven itself on the world stage as being the most effective martial art in any pure style-vs-style competition.​​

​

Mindfulness?

Mindfulness is the art of guiding awareness to the present moment in order to support internal calm and caring.

​

Mindfulness practices in our classes are short but powerful. While we only practice mindfulness for a few minutes at the end of each class, they provide a rock-solid foundation for our entire program.

​

We feel it's critical that mindfulness be taught alongside martial arts so that students learn to control their emotions and not just how to fight.

​

Stories and mat chats?

Through stories and mat chats, we elevate critical values like kindness, respect, discipline, persistence, courage, thoughtfulness, and more.

 

We have mat chats (or values discussions) for all our age groups and read stories for a couple minutes of class for the younger two age groups.​​
