Kids PROGRAM

Our Program introduces young students to the martial art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. In this process, we help our students develop several physical and personal skills. Among these skills are, flexibility, muscle strength, coordination, and a full set of self-defense techniques. These physical skills lead to developing confidence and self-discipline in our students. With these skills, the student is aware that they have the ability to restrain themselves and at the same time being aware that they can apply the techniques learned at our gym to protect themselves should the need arises.

ADULTS PROGRAM

The fundamental jiu-jitsu program focuses on giving our students a foundation of principals that will allow them to have a general understanding of the sport of jiu-jitsu as well as the comfort of knowing how to deal with very common street scenarios anyone can face. Instruction, repetition of technique, feedback, and live training leads our students to retain these principals.

Besides the physical benefits, students carry these principals off the mat and into their lives. Overall, students have more confidence, focus, and general well-being.

Experienced Training

Jiu Jitsu is best learned in a group setting because of the diversity provided in having different training partners. However, private classes are definitely an essential supplement for anyone that is serious about elevating their skills in an intensive setting. The one on one focus of a 30 or 60-minute private session will provide much more insight into any problems or challenges you may be facing in your Jiu Jitsu. To help you improve in a much faster timely fashion, it’s highly recommended that every advanced student take one private lesson per month.

Instructor

Ashur Darmo began his serious training in the different martial arts when he was first introduced by a friend in high school to wrestling. This sparked an interest in other martial arts that propelled him to find the nearest Brazilian Jiu Jitsu academy. At the age of fifteen, he began training Jiu Jitsu with an intense commitment to the point that he started competing nationally against adults at the age of sixteen.

Seven years later, Ashur received his Black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Thereafter, he moved to Los Angeles for one year to train under the legendary, Romulo Barral at world-renowned Gracie Barra Northridge Academy. Being exposed to the highest level of training and competition.

Ashur gained tremendous knowledge and expertise throughout his journey thus far as a black belt and he loves to share it with everyone in the Midwest, especially in Chicago.
