MAT GATORS (4-6 YEAR OLDS)
The ages of 4 to 6 are an incredible time for learning. They are eager to form ideas about themselves, others, and the world around them. The Mat Gators program is designed specifically for children at this stage of life. The Mat Gator class meets twice a week. Each class gives students a wonderful foundation for improved listening skills and focus. Our program will give each child a head start in life by instilling a positive self-image and "I Can Do It" attitude. Each class focuses on skills with drills and "mat chats". To the children, the drills seem like play, but they are really teaching them - eye and hand coordination, memory skills, listening and focus.

BJJ Revolution Team Affiliation
Founded in 2000, BJJ Revolution has since, become a world-wide leader in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The roots of BJJ Revolution date back to the 1970‘s in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil the location of the acclaimed Carlson Gracie Academy. Considered by many as the most successful Jiu-Jitsu academy in the history of the sport, the Carlson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Team was the true juggernaut of competitive BJJ and MMA for nearly 3 decades. This school was the flagship for innovation in Jiu-Jitsu and lead by one of the most important and influential figures in history, Master Carlson Gracie.
Training and discovering the teachings, firsthand, from Master Carlson Gracie, creators of BJJ REVOLUTION TEAM, Master Julio Cesar “Foca” Fernandez Nunes and Master Rodrigo Medeiros, became devoted to continuing the traditions that began in their homeland so many years ago. Arriving in America, it was their vision to start a martial arts revolution by spreading the knowledge, techniques, and integrity of Master Carlson Gracie. After 6-National Titles; 10-US Grappling Titles and thousands of families now practicing, history has proven that their methods were, and continue to be, on target.
