Brazilian Jiu Jitsu + Yoga Class

​

A first and only of it's kind in Calgary!  This class is a great way to get your child involved in a physical activity that trains them both physically and mentally.   In a fun and safe environment, children will learn fundamental Brazilian Jiu Jitsu while also learning Breathwork and Yoga postures.  

​

With a strong focus on the fundamentals movements of  both Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Yoga, this combination class teaches children the importance of learning a Self Defense while also understanding and listening to the body, recognizing the importance of the breath and how it benefits us on a mental and physical level, and how to combine the two to benefit us on all levels.  

 

This class promotes a healthy self-confidence, a positive attitude,  discipline, respect, problem-solving, and many other beneficial developmental qualities such as balance, coordination, focus, and self-control.  Through practical and playful teachings the children learn valuable life skills, technical skills - while also building friendships - and of course - having fun!  All experience levels are welcome.

​

Classes are taught by Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt, Professor Diana Trang - also a Certified Yoga & Ginastica Natural Instructor.
