We’re excited to announce a brand-new Jiu-Jitsu program designed especially for homeschool kids! This is more than just a martial arts class — it’s a chance for students to build confidence, develop real self-defense skills, and stay active in a positive, structured, and fun environment. With 9 years of experience serving Brevard County, we’re proud to now offer this unique opportunity to the local homeschool community. We can’t wait to welcome you to the team!
Training Jiu-Jitsu is one of the most impactful activities a child can engage in. It builds physical strength, coordination, and flexibility while also developing essential life skills such as discipline, focus, resilience, and respect. Jiu-Jitsu teaches kids how to handle challenges, manage emotions under pressure, and resolve conflicts with confidence. Beyond the mats, these lessons carry into everyday life — helping children become more secure, responsible, and empowered as they grow. In a world where confidence and self-awareness are crucial, Jiu-Jitsu gives kids the tools they need to thrive.
Congratulations to our Champion Coach Jahsua Marsh who won Cage Titans FC heavyweight title taking the belt with a beautiful knockout less than 2 minutes into the first round. Congratulations Jahsua for an outstanding performance!
