BJJ Upper East Side
INTRODUCTORY PRIVATE CLASS
Are you searching for the best BJJ classes on the Upper East Side? Look no further! At Range Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu NYC, we are dedicated to providing the most comprehensive and effective BJJ training in the area. Whether you're a beginner eager to learn the basics or an experienced practitioner looking to refine your skills, our world-class instructors and state-of-the-art facilities have got you covered.
Your first contact with our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes (aka BJJ classes) should offer you a good understanding of the efficacy and beauty of the art as a background to what can happen in real life, so as part of our membership onboarding, we offer students with zero Jiu-Jitsu experience, a free introductory individual private class. In this class, students will have undivided attention to start learning the concepts of leverage, self-defense techniques, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fundamentals. At the end of this class, you will feel ready and confident to join the group class subsequently. These first 2 classes will be the cornerstone of your initial immersion into the art in a very progressive way. Introductory classes are available by appointment at our BJJ Upper East Side academy, and only for people who live or work in the New York City area.
What to wear: Gi/Kimono (if you have it) or Free moving/workout clothes free of zippers, buttons, or metals (T-shirts, shorts, gym clothes, etc.)
FUNDAMENTALS PROGRAM
After the introductory class, students can join the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu FUNDAMENTALS Program. The program is comprised of 30 classes, where students will learn Jiu Jitsu’s fundamental techniques, in a safe and controlled environment. Techniques, drills, and movement chain combinations are all part of the curriculum in order to prepare students for an easy transition to the next step, The INTERMEDIATE Program, where they will add live sparring as part of the training regimen. While the fundamental class was designed with the white belt in mind, it has proven very beneficial to advanced students as an opportunity to perfect techniques or return from a hiatus period from BJJ.
INTERMEDIATE PROGRAM
After 30 classes in the Fundamentals program and/or have attained at least 1 stripe in their white belt. The intermediate curriculum will prepare you for the ADVANCED Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu NYC Program with a systematic look into more complex techniques and sparring starting to take place, giving you an opportunity to apply the techniques you have learned in the Fundamentals and Intermediate programs. It is a great transition opportunity from a novice Jiu-Jitsu practitioner to a more skilled fighter. This class includes more complex techniques and sparring in a group setting.
ADVANCED PROGRAM
Designed for those who have completed the Fundamentals curriculum and/or have attained at least 2 stripes in their white belt. The advanced Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu curriculum will prepare you to get your blue belt with a systematic approach to improve your understanding, reflexes, and overall development in martial arts. In this class, the whole world of Jiu-Jitsu, from simple to complex, is an open book to be studied, evaluated, drilled, and put into practice. This is the class where champions are made and fitness goals are exceeded. This class includes more complex positional study and more intense sparring in a group setting.
KIDS PROGRAM
Confidence. Learning a martial art, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in particular, is one of the best gifts you can provide a child. It provides character development, resilience, and personal growth which will impact every area of their lives, for the rest of their lives. It is a fun way engaging way for kids to get into fantastic shape, gain confidence, value discipline and respect, including prevent and discourage bullying and learn self-defense techniques.
Our kid’s program operates in a fun and nurturing environment, where children flourish and learn important life lessons:
Through self-discipline, commitment, perseverance, and grit, you can accomplish anything.
Improving focus and concentration helps you ignore distractions and fully engage in lessons at school, in sports, and at home.
Patience and dedication pay off.
When you are healthy and fit, you feel better about yourself and are more confident.
Classes are split by age:
Ages 5-9 – Little Warriors
Ages 10-13 – Teen Warriors
Bullying
Our Kids Program will also empower your kids to prevent or discourage bullying without violence. Through appropriate and effective self-defense techniques, we instill the self-esteem and confidence needed to allow kids to defuse confrontations before they escalate, including how to protect and defend themselves in the event they are attacked. Bullying is the #1 social issue and epidemic in schools today, and it has ripple effects throughout our communities.
Every 7 minutes a child is bullied in the US
Every month, 3 million children miss school due to fear of bullying
90% of 4th through 8th graders report being victims of bullying
1 out of 10 students drop out of school due to repeated bullying
70% of students believe schools respond poorly to bullying and that adult help is infrequent
Why Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for kids?
It does not rely on strength or size, so is effective against larger and stronger attackers,
It is safe because it’s focused on restraint and control rather than striking, and
It is considered the most practical and effective self-defense system in the world.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the martial art used in “Bully-Proofing” programs that have been praised by Oprah, CNN, and parents worldwide.
