Summer Camps In Brentwood

Join Us In Brentwood This Year For TWO Exciting Summer Camps!

The idea behind our Summer Camps is to provide all participants, children, teens and adults, with a well rounded and realistic street self-defense training. The camps are beginner friendly and there's absolutely no previous martial arts experience, or athletic ability necessary in order to join. Each session is held in a very controlled setting, supervised by two Black Belt instructors and a few assistant instructors.

Our Summer Camps are the perfect opportunity for first time students to begin their martial arts training!

Although Gracie Jiu-Jitsu consists of hundreds and hundreds of techniques, only a few dozen are considered critical to achieve victory in most street fights. These techniques are the core of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu as a self-defense system. We broke these techniques down and teach them in both, the Kids and Adult Camps.

The techniques we teach are within the phases below, which is Jiu-Jitsu's strategic approach to combat: 

1. Closing the distance and clinching

2. Takedown

3. Establish a safe and dominant position

4. Finish the fight

Take On The Best Youth Camp In Brentwood! Perfect For Ages 8-13!

    Typically, many parents enroll their children in martial arts for its incredible cross training benefits that it gets carried onto other sports. Attributes such as mental toughness, hard work, focus, dedication, effort as well as strength development, explosiveness, coordination, and balance are just some of the results continued training can bring.

    Although nothing compares to a longer-term commitment as far as results go, our 30-hour Kids Camp (10 sessions of three hours each) have surely helped all previous participants leave better athletes and students, than when they came in. 

    In these classes we also teach first-time students how to learn, how to listen and how to apply the techniques learned with training partners who are moderately resisting, and countering with their own moves. This training method is a great confidence booster as they practice under realistic conditions, much like I’d take place on the street, with exception of punches and kicks.

    Classes will be held every Tuesday and Thursday from 9 am until noon. Youth Camp will run June 12 - July 12. 

    Class Format For Our 2018 Kids Camps Is:

    - Warm up: plyometric exercises to improve coordination, partner-based drills, and stretching.

    - Technical drills: repetitions and more repetitions for maximum retention and improved reflexes.

    - Snack Break: Refuel and relax before the last segment.

    - Muay Thai Drills: Basic punching and kicking skills, with a focus on balance and proper technique. 

    - Live training: Putting their skills to the test against fully resisting partners. Experienced students only.

    Bullying and the Gracie Rules of Engagement

    Throughout the camp we talk constantly about bullying and what steps to take to prevent and address it should they ever become a victim. We sit down and listen to their stories and offer advice. We allow the students to interact, discuss experiences and exchange information and comments amongst themselves.

    We make sure they know exactly how to respond verbally and physically should they encounter a difficult situation with an aggressor. For more on bullying and the Rules of Engagement, please click here to visit the Kids Jiu-Jitsu Program page.

          The CGJJ Academy has exceeded our expectations as a Jiu-Jitsu academy. The academy more than develops your self-defense skills, it builds ones confidence and develops the younger students character. The respect for Professor Crosley and Instructor Ryan is unmeasurable, the value they bring through the doors is priceless.

          I met Crosley several years ago when looking to find a place that both motivated me (I struggle in that area) and was a fitness institute. I interviewed Crosley Gracie and what convinced me was that Jiu Jitsu was going to improve me as a person in addition to meeting my fitness goals. I could earn something in addition to a belt such as confidence, patience that translates into real life areas such as the home life and work place. I truly feel I made the best decision multiple years ago when I made the commitment/investment to join. I have had to walk away a time or two for one reason or another where life's speed bumps slow down the pocket book along the way, but have felt the difference of jiu jitsu no longer being apart of my life. It changed me and I didn't like the feeling. I've been back and feel I'm moving in the right direction again. Thank you to the excellent staff and the other members here who unknowingly to them have become apart of my improving me process. The atmosphere wasn't what brought me here, but it has definitely become what keeps me here. When you feel there is a need for something more for you to work on, to work on you? You've come to the right place. See you round if you dive in and I look forward to shaking your hand.

          Two years ago we made one of the best decisions for our son Timmy. After being diagnosed with ADHD and the Battle of prescription medicines and the daily struggle I was wondering if you're doing the right thing? We decided to look into the Crosley Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy and the summer program. After talking with Ryan Murphy and Crosley, I listened to their perspective and experience through their knowledge about ADHD and how Jiu-Jitsu helps kids with it. Really quickly we seen results and decided to enroll him full-time as a student. Today Timmy has made a complete transformation from being able to focus and be more confident in everything he does from his school work and wrestling at his school and being involved in discipleship programs at the church. I recommend it for any kid that struggling in school or with confidence. The training and coaching from the staff at Crossing Gracie Jiu-Jitsu has not only shown true but also has been priceless, thank you!
