JIU JITSU - THE GENTLE ART
Jiu-Jitsu is called the “gentle art” because it doesn’t take brute strength or size to do it or be good at it. So what better martial art form to use for therapy and rehabilitation of disabled veterans, police officers, firefighters, and first responders. Aside from the effectiveness of jiu-jitsu as a form of self-defense and fitness, it brings a sense of belonging to something, a “pack” as we refer to it, back to our members that they long for after leaving their respective services. It truly is a family and team atmosphere in each and every school that breeds unity and comradery which our members love and appreciate tremendously. Training in an academy makes you part of that TEAM and FAMILY.
One of the toughest things to deal with for a lot of our disabled survivors is the lack of ability to focus. The psychological and physiological effects of PTSd, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), loss of limbs, and whatever other injuries they have gone through can torment them day and night. This can cause an unprecedented amount of stress and anxiety for the survivor. Jiu-Jitsu is an outlet and alternative program that helps to alleviate this stress & anxiety and we have had amazing breakthrough utilizing it as a therapy.

WARRIOR WOMEN
Warrior Women self-defense is about empowering women and teaching them tools to become more self-confident and be able to live without fear.
Our program helps them not only rebuild their physical wellness but their spiritual resiliency as well. Showing them that they are strong beyond measure and that with God's grace, love, and strength... they can do anything they set their minds to.
KIDS PROGRAM
Through our self-defense training, our hope and plan is that we can help our youth learn critical thinking skills, anti-bullying fundamentals, how to be comfortable with being uncomfortable, discipline, respect, morals, values, comradery, and teamwork.
For our youth that are taught the majority of these values at home, we can strengthen that foundation and their spirit, and fill in the gaps where necessary. Most importantly, we can give them a foundation in F.A.I.T.H., and guidelines to help them live their daily life by. We are here to partner with parents, not replace them. Most people don’t understand how sports correlate to life. They don’t understand that arts, like jiu-jitsu, are about more than just self-defense. They gain courage, self-esteem, self-respect, confidence, discipline, and leadership to name a few.
Combining jiu-jitsu with our fundamentals of F.A.I.T.H. (Forgiveness, Accountability, Identity, Trust, Honor) and T.A.P.P. (Training, Accountability, Perseverance, Purpose) can and will prepare our youth to be able to face any adversity in life that comes at them. Because, as is our philosophy in our adult program to heal the spirit, the mind, and then the body; in our youth program our philosophy is to grow their spirit, enrich their minds, and strengthen their bodies through F.A.I.T.H.
ADULT PROGRAM
Our adult jiu-jitsu members gain confidence and humility, and an increased self-esteem as well. Jiu-Jitsu instructors across the country say all the time to students to "leave your ego's and pride off the mat." The mat is a place that breeds humility all day. Young and old, big and small, the mats don't lie.
The adults are equipped with invaluable tools to face the adversity and challenges in life that occur out in the world. They gain another tool for their toolbox to face those challenges not only for the mental battles, but for the spiritual warfare we endure in society each and every day too.
Again...Jiu jitsu is called the “gentle art” for a reason. We’d like to think that Jesus himself would’ve chose jiu-jitsu because it involves lots of loving hugs laugh out loud! So what better martial art form to use for building the spiritual resiliency and fitness of our Survivors.
It also creates strong relationships, and gives Survivors another opportunity to do life together with others who understand their struggles. It breeds unity and comradery which our members love and missed. These traits are woven in the foundation of this organization, one member at a time, day after day, minute by minute.
