BJJ OPEN MAT
This is not a structured martial arts class so it is not led by a martial arts instructor, rather it is free time for martial arts students to work on developing a martial arts skill of their choosing.

You are free to drill, roll, ask questions of other students, or just hang out and eat cookies. Our open mat sessions are open to all students from all academies, free of charge.

Open Mats are scheduled at the instructors discretion. You will often see open mats on holidays and days when most other gyms are closed. Once you are a member, you can join our Facebook group to learn more.

CLASS OVERVIEW
The fundamentals class is designed for absolute beginners. Kids will learn concepts and movements that will set the foundation for their journey as martial artists.

Equally important, classes emphasize learning strategies, which are proven methods to help kids learn at an accelerated rate. Equipped with a basic formula for controlling/submitting their opponents, kids will actively problem solve while receiving real resistance from their training partners. The 101 class provides a fun environment for kids to ‘play’, while the game they’re playing translates directly into skills they can use for self defense or grappling tournaments. Kids will leave class having been stimulated mentally, socially and physically. They will learn what they can achieve through disciplined practice and will experience real growth in their confidence, learning ability, sociability and physicality as a result of being a young martial artist at Island Top Team.

CLASS OVERVIEW
The all levels advanced class accepts students who wish to take their training to the next level. Building off the fundamentals curriculum, kids will be challenged to a greater degree.

They will learn advanced techniques with enhanced detail, their learning will be more self-directed and the sparring will prove to be a greater challenge. Kids in the 201 program have shown a consistent interest in their growth as a 101 student and are rewarded with entry into the 201 program. Disciplined kids with a willingness to learn and the appropriate physical dexterity will be invited to the 201 as early as a few months into their training. Kids in the 201 program are also permitted to compete at grappling tournaments if they choose, and we provide coaching at tournaments inclusive of the program. Kids are not expected to compete and will not be compelled to do so, but those who wish to will be given the tools necessary to succeed.

CLASS OVERVIEW
This is our fundamentals martial arts class, open to all students. In this class you will learn the underlying principles that govern every movement, position, transition and technique in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

The material covered will familiarize you with the basic positions: the open and closed guard, the side mount, the knee ride, the mount, and the back. You will learn how to achieve, control and transition between these positions using the building block movements of BJJ that are frequently neglected or taught incorrectly. You will learn the skills of guard retention, sweeping, sweep recovery, and guard passing. Although you will find many beginners in this martial arts class, all of our ranked students attend it as well, both to help our new students in their journey, and to maintain sharpness with the essential concepts and movements that create true skill in grappling.

These classes build on the basic skills that are taught in the Beginners Muay Thai classes. You’ll start to learn how to put your techniques together to create more combos, begin using Thai pads, and doing partner drill work with contact.

This class also has everyone training side by side! From the beginner to the seasoned vet to amateur and professional fighters. Here we’ll do various pad and bag training, technique work and live partner drills, work strategy used and needed in competition and sparring and dive into clinch work.

Required Gear: 16 oz Boxing Gloves, Shin Guards, Hand Wraps, Mouth Guard!
