Ready for your new journey?
New Students
Congratulations on making the decision to gain a deeper understanding of yourself through the discipline of martial arts. AZ Battle School brings people together from all walks of life. Each has different reasons for training, yet each should be striving for the same goal: to realize their full potential.
Discover who you are. Any discipline can offer the possibility of self discovery, but the discipline you have chosen, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, is particularly deep. The journey you have embarked on requires humility, perseverance, flexibility, awareness, and sensitivity. There are no shortcuts in the process, and because of the rigors of training, you will develop all of these attributes, and more! Increased strength and coordination, confidence, and a calm, centered awareness are just a few of the benefits that await you.
You will be learning very effective techniques. It is your responsibility to maintain control at all times. Refrain from showing off. The people you will train with will become your 'brothers and sisters'. You will sweat together, laugh together, wrestle and roll. You cannot grow without the other, so respect your training partners, and take care of them.
Celebrate the progress of your teammates- their progress and your progress are linked together, though it’s often hard to see from the inside. Be patient with yourself, and I guarantee that you will see the progress you’ve been working for!
We have all been white belts. In many ways, it’s the best place to be. Keep your mind open and enjoy the journey. I will be watching and helping every step of the way.
Yours in the Arts,
Empowerment Leadership
Kids Leadership
Teaching self-defense to kids is a way to empower their self-awareness and leadership while having fun. Bullying is a reality today and besides the physical harassement, it creates victim mentality in the mind of our kids. Through our program, the young students grow their confidence and leadership. Although our philoshopy is always to avoid any phisical confrontation, our students can stand up against any bullying and avoid any mental or physical harm.

Women's Self-Defense
If you're a woman, you've probably experienced a nervous, sinking feeling when walking alone at night, fearing what's lurking around a dark corner. At some point, most women ask themselves the question, 'Would I be able to defend myself if I were attacked?' At Battle School we teach specific self-defense moves that can help to protect you in a dangerous situation. Not only that, you gain confidence in yourself and you will feel more relaxed. And in the meantime you are working on also fitness!
