Adult Program
The Adult Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes at JJ Machado DFW offers a fun and challenging activity for all adults that is done in a safe and nurturing environment.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at first glance appears to be a purely physical endeavor. However, the longer you train, the more you realize that Jiu Jitsu requires focused concentration and developing the ability to employ strategy under stress.
We believe Jiu Jitsu is for everyone regardless of your experience or physical shape. Join us and see what Jiu Jitsu can do for you.
GI
If you’ve ever watched a traditional Jiu Jitsu match, you were probably witnessing Gi Jiu Jitsu! Gi Jiu Jitsu is most identifiable by the clothing worn – a kimono, pants, and a belt. But this clothing is about more than looks. It actually changes the way the martial art is practiced! In Gi Jiu Jitsu you can grab your opponent’s clothes during grappling, which contributes to a slower pace that leaves you with more time to think through your next move.
NO-GI
When practicing No-Gi Jiu Jitsu, you’ll shed your uniform for stretchy athletic wear, such as shorts and a rash guard. Without the lapel and collar of a kimono to grab hold of, No-Gi Jiu Jitsu is much faster and requires quick thinking.
Kids & Teen Youth Program
Our Kids Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program at JJ Machado DFW emphasizes hard work, resilience and developing a never give up attitude. Students work in a team setting but soon realize that individual standards mean everything in a team dynamic.
The concept of continual steady effort despite setbacks is heavily emphasized in our Kids BJJ Program. We stress the fact that in order to improve in Jiu Jitsu, failure is not only expected, it is required.
We have a very active Kids Competition Team at JJ Machado DFW. We encourage our students to compete however, it is not a requirement.
Teaches Self-Defense
As a parent, your first priority is keeping your child safe. That’s why we are so passionate about equipping kids with the invaluable self-defense skills that BJJ provides. While all forms of Jiu Jitsu prepare students for real-life altercations and provide essential lessons on how to protect oneself, Jiu Jitsu takes self-defense to another level. Jiu Jitsu is unique in its ability to mirror situations students could potentially face in the real world.
Confidence Building
JJ Machado DFW is dedicated to empowering you with the confidence and self-esteem needed to succeed in everyday life. Jiu Jitsu can bring out the positive qualities that have always been a part of you, whether that is inner calm, positive mental attitude, patience, or self-discipline. Jiu Jitsu training will help you overcome fear, anger, and self-doubt, and leave you feeling confident in any situation.
