The ideas of Yin and Yang are universal to all martial arts and we strive to strike that balance in our training. Strength VS Flexibility, Offense VS Defense, Speed VS Control, Aggression VS Patience, Fun VS Discipline. Too much emphasis in any one direction will make progress more difficult, if not impossible. Learning how to make the most of the physical/mental gifts you have while bringing up areas you need improvement in will pay huge dividends both as a martial artist and person. We hope that you will join us on your journey to becoming stronger, fitter, more confident and resilient. https://www.balancepointbjj.com/location daily 0.75 2024-09-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b3b946b906eb6cfce3614b/0ee4ddae-a0f6-4cd4-b7e1-89cc1e81f9d1/hh+front.jpg Location - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.balancepointbjj.com/home daily 1.0 2026-03-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b3b946b906eb6cfce3614b/4fcafc5d-06dd-4826-a223-41c7f93d1dc2/Screenshot_20241026_150352_Instagram.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b3b946b906eb6cfce3614b/23f8315a-bf7b-4063-9abb-3c8018410912/hannahselfdefense.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b3b946b906eb6cfce3614b/8219a3bf-9c3b-4f5c-baf0-ca4d7981fefe/1000040771.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b3b946b906eb6cfce3614b/079638de-caff-4699-a13b-ae757bc4b66b/1000040724.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b3b946b906eb6cfce3614b/11423888-4d82-40ea-b3d7-e9e1bff1c943/1000036657.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b3b946b906eb6cfce3614b/c83d384d-b959-4971-ab8c-e90384393c6a/1000040039.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b3b946b906eb6cfce3614b/70156cc6-913a-4ef4-94f3-839a3100a178/1000040040.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b3b946b906eb6cfce3614b/89f175d6-58c5-49ef-8406-e1b7bc31087f/1000040954.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b3b946b906eb6cfce3614b/d335d7c6-5982-4ea9-9509-fc37a66b949c/1000034406.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b3b946b906eb6cfce3614b/6b35cb51-a02e-44dd-a2ba-64dffffa93ce/1000034790.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b3b946b906eb6cfce3614b/1c0ce164-a41a-48d0-b1f7-e11f4d46e848/1000029290.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b3b946b906eb6cfce3614b/732dc50c-1f4c-46fc-8d67-e08f7999865a/Youth+BJJ+Group+Class.JPG https://www.balancepointbjj.com/classes daily 0.75 2025-04-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b3b946b906eb6cfce3614b/93483be4-9725-4d9a-b22b-044510718424/IMG-8234.jpg Classes - Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art focused on grappling, control, and submissions. Sometimes referred to as the “Gentle Art”, BJJ functions as a self defense system and sport where a practitioner can defeat an opponent without throwing a strike. By utilizing takedowns and throws found in freestyle/Greco Roman wrestling and judo, we bring the opponent to the ground and apply joint submissions and chokes. Popularized in America during the early days of the UFC by the legendary Gracie family, BJJ is unique among martial arts in that it can be trained often and at high intensities without incurring serious injuries. The techniques taught in BJJ can allow a smaller, potentially weaker person to overcome larger opponents through balance and leverage. Excellent for law enforcement, military, and every day civilians alike. We offer classes in both the traditional gi and no gi styles. Both are suitable for students of all ages and ability levels. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b3b946b906eb6cfce3614b/6cbb5a8b-3bc9-4af6-917a-211f526c6a62/IMG-8389.jpg Classes - Kickboxing Combining elements from Muay Thai, Kenpo, Savate, and Boxing, our Kickboxing program strives to teach a comprehensive and technical style of striking. Using punches, kicks, knees, elbows, sweeps, throws, and clinching techniques, our Kickboxing classes are excellent for anyone interested in learning to strike for sport, self defense, or fitness. Sparring is always optional and conducted in a safe and appropriate manner. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b3b946b906eb6cfce3614b/d1d7e5af-e0bc-427b-9845-cbfab792643c/FullSizeR%282%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b3b946b906eb6cfce3614b/3333d14c-66c7-4ecb-bf84-b59367c78038/20250315_133728.jpg https://www.balancepointbjj.com/our-instructors daily 0.75 2025-09-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b3b946b906eb6cfce3614b/da854f07-642c-490e-bcc9-9a7e063ade02/FB_IMG_1645210661111.jpg Our Instructors - Shelby Young Tobias Keene, D.D.S.
