Overcoming Adversity

Gaining Confidence & Pride

August 23, 2019 by

Being involved in Martial Arts allows children to have constant goals to work towards. Accomplishing these goals allows the students to build confidence and earn a sense of pride in their achievements. The students work on different techniques that they are taught, and they are given the opportunity to apply them. The students quickly learn that hard work pays off, and that the more they apply themselves, the more they will gain from their everyday experience, in return gaining confidence in their capabilities. As the students move up in belt ranking, they are shown an even greater level of respect by their fellow classmates. The students earn their level in class ranking by working their way up the ladder of our custom belt system. Children get to leave every class with a sense of pride and accomplishment

Our “Life Skills” Program

August 23, 2019 by

Our Kid’s Martial Arts program is not just self-defense training! Here at Ultimate MMA & Jiu Jitsu Training Center, we also tie in realistic core values with our unique “Life Skills” program. We believe that the students should be exposed to, and understand, the importance of values, such as, honesty, respect, discipline, control, and focus, just to name a few. Each month, the students are given a new focus word as “homework,” to think about, apply their thoughts in a hypothetical situation, and use this to earn a new stripe on their belt for the month. Through our Life Skills program, our students learn responsibility, accountability, and the importance of persevering through life’s challenges with a positive attitude.

Introduction to MMA

At Ultimate MMA & Jiu Jitsu Training Center, our kids program begins for children at the age of 4, and continues with systematic progressions, based on age and skill level. Our Kid’s program consists of a variety of the basics of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, Boxing, and Wrestling, as well as, traditional Karate and Taekwondo techniques mixed in. One of the primary benefits of having your child enrolled in our Mixed Martial Arts program, is that they will lean to gain confidence in all aspects of everyday life. Our instructors help the students navigate through adversity, learn to work cohesively as a team with others, as well as, overcome the struggles of dealing with bullies, as this is an unfortunate but realistic part of life.

I specifically wanted to train Marcelo Garcia Jiu Jitsu and that's exactly what you'll get here, in both Gi and No Gi. Along with Boxing, Muay Thai, and a women's boot camp, your younger children can come to train and learn a skill that will not only offer them a safe, fun environment, but serve them the rest of their lives. This facility is large, clean and packed full of competitive champions. Not only do they get out there and do it, but they get out there and keep doing it. No one is made to feel uncomfortable at any age or skill level. They have female instructors as well as males and the women teach the younger kids. My daughter went for her trial day and she loved it. They make the kids classes fun. I've been coming close to six months now and I haven't met one person that wasn't kind or helpful. I really look forward to training here a long time, making new friends with nice people and entering Jiu Jitsu competitions. The trial class is free with no commitment. Come give it a try, it will change and improve your life for the better.

If there was one place to send your child to learn self defense, and more importantly, confidence, this would be the place. The staff not only knows what they are talking about, but they take a personal approach to every person that is part of the Ultimate MMA family. Contact them today to know that your child is getting the best guidance in the area.

Andrew Calandrelli is not only extremely knowledgeable, he is also a talented teacher. I've been to other martial arts schools, some good, some not so much and I have never had the quality of instruction that I've had at this school. Andrew's staff is professional, friendly and have a sincere love for what they do. The facility is exactly what you would imagine a great school to be. The students range in skill level from beginner to expert, but I've noticed that if you train with someone who is much better than you are, it's likely that they'll take a moment to give you some tips to make you better. Great staff, great students, great facility. No need to go anywhere else.”
