Classes

Kids

Our No Gi Kids jiu jitsu class is a fun, dynamic session where children learn grappling techniques without the traditional jiu jitsu uniform (gi). Instead of wearing a gi, they wear comfortable athletic gear like rash guards and shorts. The focus is on body movement, leverage, and controlling your partner through specific holds and maneuvers.

Kids will learn in a safe, structured environment, practicing drills, working with partners, and playing games that help build coordination, strength, and confidence. The class is designed to teach self-defense and discipline, but it’s also about having fun, staying active, and being part of a team. Coaches guide students with patience, ensuring they understand the techniques and work at their own pace.

Women’s Self-Defense

In our Women's Self-Defense Class, we focus on teaching practical techniques designed to empower and protect. This includes powerful strikes like elbows, knees, teeps (push kicks), and more to help you defend yourself in various situations. We also cover essential ground defense, teaching you how to protect yourself if the fight goes to the ground.

Beyond the physical techniques, we emphasize mental awareness—helping you stay alert and confident in your surroundings. The class is structured to maintain fitness levels, offering a full-body workout while learning self-defense. It’s open to women of all ages, creating a supportive and encouraging environment where you can gain strength, boost confidence, and develop effective self-defense skills.

Adults

Our No Gi Adult Jiu Jitsu Class is a hands-on experience that focuses on grappling techniques without the traditional gi. Instead of a gi, students wear athletic gear like rash guards and shorts, making the training more dynamic and similar to real-life scenarios.

In the class, you’ll learn how to control an opponent using techniques based on leverage, positioning, and body mechanics rather than brute strength. The instructor will guide you through drills that teach effective moves like sweeps, escapes, submissions, and positional control, often followed by controlled sparring to apply what you've learned in real-time.

It’s a challenging but rewarding workout that builds endurance, strength, and flexibility. The environment is welcoming, and everyone works together to learn and improve, regardless of experience. Expect a friendly, supportive atmosphere where progress and learning happen at your own pace.

Homeschool

The only reason Lone Wolf BJJ was able to become reality was thanks to the Mitchell County Homeschool Community. Enrolling your homeschool child in a jiu jitsu class offers a range of benefits that complement their education and personal development. Physically, jiu jitsu helps improve coordination, balance, strength, and flexibility, providing a structured and engaging way to stay active.

Socially, it gives homeschooled children the chance to interact with peers in a positive, team-oriented environment, helping them build friendships and develop teamwork skills. The discipline and focus required in jiu jitsu can also enhance their ability to concentrate and follow instructions—valuable traits for both their schooling and everyday life.

Additionally, jiu jitsu teaches perseverance, problem-solving, and emotional resilience as children learn to navigate challenges on the mat. It fosters confidence, self-discipline, and respect for others, making it a well-rounded activity that supports both physical and personal growth.

Open Mat

An open mat in Jiu Jitsu is a relaxed, informal training session where people of all skill levels come together to practice techniques, spar, and roll (the Jiu Jitsu term for live sparring). Unlike a structured class where a coach leads drills and instruction, an open mat is more self-directed. Participants can work on anything they want—maybe a technique they learned recently, troubleshoot areas they’re struggling with, or just get some extra sparring rounds in.

It’s also a great opportunity to interact with different training partners, exchange knowledge, and build camaraderie. Open mats are often less intimidating since the vibe is more laid-back, and people generally go at a pace that suits them. For someone who's never trained before, it's an inviting way to get a feel for the art without the pressure of a formal class.
