About Us:

No matter what path you embark within the martial art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, we help every student cultivate the right mindset toward growth and their goals. At Kansept Academy, our conceptual approach creates an environment that enables our students to expand their perspective beyond technique. We apply techniques in positions and situations to help students become innovative problem solvers toward their goal.

Our Philosophy:

TRAIN.
At Kansept Academy, we help our students develop a strong work ethic, in order to improve their fitness, technique, and mental development. We instill discipline, consistency, and a positive mindset as practitioners of the Martial art.

BELIEVE.
Belief is one of the most important tools a practitioner or athlete can have to enable growth. It is a concept cultivated through past experiences and training. We help students foster a belief system that promotes confidence and courage which empowers them to take action towards personal development.

EXECUTE.
We “train” to gain experience and build confidence within ourselves and our technique. That confidence is your belief which will empower you to execute or take action toward your goal. We teach our students Kanspet Academy’s philosophy. Once the students learn this mindset, it will help them find the best version of themselves on and off the mat.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for Kids (Ages 8-12)

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a great activity for kids because it helps them build confidence and stay active. It teaches important skills like self-defense, problem-solving, and how to stay calm under pressure. Kids learn how to work well with others and practice respect for their instructors and classmates. The physical activity also keeps them healthy, improving their strength, flexibility, and coordination. Plus, the discipline they develop in class can help them focus better in school and other areas of life.
