Atlantic Jiu Jitsu Academy 3.6

Atlantic Jiu Jitsu Academy provides certified instruction in Can-Ryu Jiu Jitsu, with specialization in training programs for children and youth.

Can-Ryu Jiu Jitsu is based on proven concepts for self-defence, building self-confidence and discipline in students.

Why learn Can-Ryu Jiu Jitsu?

Self-Defence

Students will learn proven self-defence techniques in a fun, friendly and safe environment. While throws, grappling and striking form the basis of Can-Ryu Jiu Jitsu techniques, we adhere to the philosophy of avoiding conflict whenever possible. In addition to techniques, students will be given tools to help them avoid conflict situations.

Self-Confidence & Self-Esteem

When a student sets a goal like earning a yellow, orange, green…or even a black belt, that student will build confidence and pride in his/her abilities as he/she gets closer to achieving the goal. Learning that one is capable of achieving great things through perseverance and hard work is part of the martial arts journey!

Discipline

Can-Ryu Jiu Jitsu is taught in a structured manner, building one set of skills on top of others, one technique building on another. As new skills are acquired, instructors encourage students to focus, listen, communicate and participate in a disciplined manner, exercising self-control and respect for others.

Fun & Safe

Students will learn in a fun, friendly and safe environment. Instructors mix Can-Ryu Jiu Jitsu techniques into a variety of games and exercises to ensure students have fun and learn while creating an inviting atmosphere.
