Jiu Jitsu is a predominantly ground-based martial art, using the principals of leverage, angles, pressure and timing, as well as knowledge of the human anatomy, in order to achieve a non-violent submission of one’s opponent. Unlike other martial arts that focus on strikes and/or kicks, jiu jitsu focuses on close-contact “grappling” holds and techniques, and the application of chokes and joint-manipulations.
My son has been attending Peak Performance’s summer camp and after school curriculum since June and we both love it. Master Schill and the team stress the importance of discipline and hard work while maintaining a positive and encouraging environment in order to ensure the students learn life skills they’ll need for a bright future. Students earn belt stripes based on homework completion, reading, chores as well as practicing martial arts at home. Not only does Master Schill work with the students, but he communicates with the parents and makes sure everyone is on the same page and understand what the kids are being taught during their time there. My son has thrived here and I can’t wait to see what else he learns. I’ve recommended Peak Performance anytime after school programs come up.
Highly recommended. Peak Performance’s attitude towards raising strong children mirrors our own. We appreciate the cooperative support of the staff in helping shape who they will grow up to become. I have two girls, ages 7 and 11, who have been going to Peak Performance for several years. They may not always look forward to the physical exertion 😅, but I can tell, they are more confident, more disciplined, and more athletic as a result of being a part of the martial arts classes. They are proud of how high they can kick and regularly show me the forms and personal protection moves they are learning. We have developed personal relationships with the staff and trust them with our children’s lives.
