Youth Jiu-Jitsu, Judo & Wrestling
“AS A DEDICATED STUDENT OF THE MARTIAL ARTS, I WILL LIVE BY THE 7 PRINCIPLES OF THE FIFTY/50 BLACK BELT: HONESTY, MODESTY, INTEGRITY, STOICISM, RESPECT, PERSEVERANCE & TEAMWORK.”
THE BLACK BELT CREED
Our Ethos
We are committed to providing the highest level of martial arts instruction for your child in an enjoyable and supportive environment. Integral to this effort is our desire to imbue the true values of martial arts into our students. For this reason, our youth students are expected to memorize and recite our Black Belt Creed at the beginning of every practice.
Jen Hall, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt and accomplished international competitor, started our youth program in 2010 and has continued to adjust and refine it over time as our program grew from 6 students in the beginning to over 100 today.
Under the guidance of our instructors your child will learn more than martial arts. They will learn balance, coordination, and fine-tune their motor skills in ways that will help them in any athletic discipline they may choose later in life. But that’s not all! Through the auspices of martial arts training, our instructors work diligently to reinforce the important life skills of confidence, discipline, dedication, hard work, teamwork, and respect. These learned work habits and skills are expected to transfer to success in the classroom and beyond.
FREE WEEK TRIAL. No strings. Let your child try it out and see why so many local families make Fifty/50 part of their week.
