8 Week Jiu-Jitsu Class!Beginning this October, we will be offering a special 8 week course for new students interested in learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and self-defense. The course will last 8 weeks and cover various key points about jiu-jitsu and grappling. This class is recommended for any teens or adults looking for self-defense, fitness, or competitive classes while meeting new people and making great friendships.

Each class will include a weekly topic as outlined below in the course syllabus. Although their will be demonstration and teaching time, the classes are structured in a way that allows everyone a chance to work throughout the class which means that not only will you be learning great techniques that could save your life, but you can also get a great workout at the same time. Brazlian Jiu-jitsu has seen a great explosion in popularity from the sports level as well and while this 8 week course does not solely apply to competitions, you will get plenty of competitive and fun matches with others in the class.

For new students, we are offering a special introductory rate of only $100 which covers the full 8 week class, and your Brazilian Jiu-jitsu uniform! That is a savings of over $200 when you sign up for our special 8 week class!


 

I have been going to class for about 4 months and have enjoyed every minute of it. The environment is awesome and people are amazing. The instructors are very knowledgeable and clearly demonstrates each technique so that you can apply it properly while grappling. Each class feels authentic and I’ve never felt like I’m not learning properly or being given handouts. With hard work and dedication anyone who attends the class will be a very formidable opponent in Jiu Jujitsu. I love it and am excited to see where it takes me.

When Beaufort MMA advertised a Bully Prevention Class we knew we had to get our daughters into the class. Not only did they learn valuable techniques to protect themselves, but they bonded with the instructors and fellow students.  Following the Bully Prevention Class the girls wanted to sign up for the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class.

While initially shy and lacking confidence the girls flourished under the instructors at Beaufort MMA. The art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu taught the girls to open up and become confident in themselves and abilities in any situation. The practice teaches patience, problem solving, and accepting situations as they come and the appropriate responses to them. Having an instructor with an upper level rank such as sensei Abe Stem, a Brown Belt in the sport, allows him to introduce and teach a variety of techniques varying from the self-defense to sport jiu-jitsu to the mats and openly shares them with his students. Each instructor at Beaufort MMA works to ensure that each student gains the knowledge and techniques of the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The time and dedication to the students is evident by the respect they show to the instructors and each other. Our journey in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at Beaufort MMA has been life changing, and I cannot wait to see where we go in the future under their instruction.
