At JKS we offer a takedown class which combines elements of Judo and Free style Wrestling. The main goal of this class is to teach you how to take your opponent down and establish a dominant position for self defense, submission grappling and Mixed Martial Arts. Combining both of these martial arts is the most effective method of taking down and controlling your opponent.
Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art focusing largely on grappling. It utilizes natural body leverage and proper technique to obtain dominant control on the ground and as a result, provides greater position for submission holds. BJJ has been proven to be an effective method for dealing with bigger and stronger opponents.

I'm a member for 5 years and I can say without exaggeration that JKS changed my life. Gave me purpose and perspective. The place is complex and versatile. One can choose among multiple martial art skills and levels. It can be your home where you can challenge yourself to become a professional fighter or your neighbourhood gym where you can spend several joyful hours per week - acquiring new skills or shaping your body. It's a perfect place for kids too. Not much more that you could ask for. Sincerely, Andra Popa
