Benefit #1
A great way to get in shape
Jiu-Jitsu offers an exceptional way to get into shape because it combines physical fitness and mental agility. It's a full-body workout that improves cardiovascular endurance, strength, and flexibility. The dynamic nature of Jiu-Jitsu engages various muscle groups while also enhancing balance and coordination. Moreover, the discipline promotes weight loss and overall fitness through consistent training. Beyond the physical benefits, it fosters mental resilience and problem-solving skills, making it a holistic and enjoyable path to better health and fitness.
Benefit #2
Stress Reliever
Jiu-Jitsu is a remarkable stress reliever due to its unique blend of physical activity and mental focus. When you step onto the mat, the intensity of training demands your full attention, allowing you to temporarily set aside life's stresses and anxieties. The controlled, measured movements required in Jiu-Jitsu help calm the mind and encourage mindfulness, reducing stress levels. Additionally, the camaraderie among training partners and the sense of accomplishment after each session creates a supportive and positive environment that can alleviate tension and promote mental well-being.

Ally loves getting to ride in the TSMA van after school. Thank you so much for including Piedmont Early Childhood Center to your after school program! We are Truly grateful! Ally is passionate about martial arts. This program allows her to participate in Martial Arts 4 days a week, where she is surrounded by positivity, recognition and is learning about respect! It’s fun to see her so excited, confident and more respectful. Thank you TSMA
The coach is great and it feels like a family there. My daughter have been going there for almost 3 years and about to make black belt class soon.
Very clean facility and I can’t say enough about the staff. Caring, honest and dedicated staff. Even though she is unable to attend due to the pandemic they have came up with many clever ways to stay in touch and give these kids daily activities. LOVE this place
This place is amazing for kiddos! They teach great kids great principles of just being a good kind human being. The environment is fun 🤩 friendly and I would not take my child anywhere else. Instructors are amazing and fun. Plus they play fun music to keep them busy !!!
