Private Lessons

Each private lesson runs 60 minutes and is completely tailored to your goals, whether it’s tightening up technique, making up for missed classes, getting ready for competition, or just learning at your own pace. You’ll get focused instruction, detailed feedback, and time to drill and train specific to what you need.

Sessions usually include technical breakdowns, positional work, and live training. Packages are available if you’re looking to train regularly.

Adult Program

Our 90-minute classes focus on specific technique for that day, which helps build fundamentals and apply the technique under pressure. Each session includes warm-up, technique, specific sparring, and live training.

We follow a rotating curriculum covering closed guard, half guard, and pinning, with attacks, defenses, and escapes—teaching you how to connect and make techniques work when it counts.

Kids Program (Ages 6–13)

We start with character teaching kids how to listen, stay disciplined, handle setbacks, and show respect. These lessons take root on the mat but carry over into school, home, and everyday life. Through that structure, they begin to develop real Jiu-Jitsu—learning how to move with purpose, control their space, and approach challenges with focus and effort.

Trial Classes for Beginners

Beginner trial classes are designed to introduce you to the fundamentals of Jiu Jitsu in a friendly, supportive environment. You’ll learn basic techniques, movement drills, and self-defense concepts at a comfortable pace, no experience needed. Expect a welcoming atmosphere, patient instruction, and a fun, safe way to see if Jiu Jitsu is right for you.

Testimonials

Signed up for a free trial, even though I wasn't sure if BJJ was for me. But after one lesson I'm hooked. Going in as a complete beginner, I have been learning through a structured curriculum that emphasizes fundamentals, which builds on what I learned in the previous class. Coach Mike gives personalized attention to everyone, whether you're a beginner or a higher belt, and is always around before and after class when we sometimes ask for extra help. Every single student is welcoming and super friendly, where nobody is looking to just beat up on people - so whether you are training for competition or practical self-defense, I couldn't recommend Mantis more!!

I've been training at Mantis Juijitsu for a couple of months now. I can say with confidence that I've learned more in 6 months than I did in my previous years of training. Coach Mike is a great teacher that goes into great detail with each move is he teaching. He is also great at one on one trainings as well. Our one on one sessions have helped elevate my game tremendously. Classes are great with time to drill moves during specific training as well as live rolls. Everyone is welcoming and is willing to help eachother get better. It's been a great experience and look forward to keep training and learning
