Why Our Kids Succeed

 

You're probably wondering, how? How could one activity have such an impact on my child? Well, it's incredible, but true martial arts are not only a sport that can be enjoyed throughout a lifetime, but can also improve your quality of life!

 

Our Kids Jiu Jitsu program will arm your child with a host of positive mental and physical skills that will help them in school, at home and in life.

 

Even if your child is involved in sports, it may not be enough. Recent studies show that programs like ours, that actually and personally focus on your child's achievement, are vastly more effective than team sports!

 

In our program, we don't believe in just teaching children to punch and kick. We work to help build your child's character. During classes, you'll see your child's energy, confidence, and spirit rise while he or she becomes strong and confident. We're not just talking about physical strength - but the kind of strength it takes to resist peer pressure and other negative aspects of life.

 

You'll see a new kind of discipline emerging from within your child......  It's the kind of discipline that will positively affect all areas of their life. You'll notice an increased respect for others, and most importantly, for themselves. The result? A powerful mind/body connection that makes them unstoppable in life! Your child will overcome obstacles and learn to succeed!

 

The Effects Our Program Has On Kids

 

Grade Improvement: The grades go up and stay up! Our program offers a lot more than just self-defense and physical agility.  It is an educational program that will give your child the discipline needed to study, complete homework and organize their time wisely. Ultimately, this leads to better concentration at school and better grades. We make success a habit, not a chore!

 

Leadership Skills: To help them succeed in life! Jiu Jitsu will teach your child how to set goals and take responsibility for their own actions. These qualities, more than any others, will help your child develop as a leader and not as a follower. This, in turn, will ensure their success in school, college and life!

 

Increased Physical Aptitude and Fitness:  To help your child develop physically! Our programs increase speed, stamina and agility in children. They also help develop balance, coordination and timing, which helps your child in sports and other activities.

 

Mental Development: To give your child the courage to say NO in the face of peer pressure! One of the scariest problems facing many parents today is the possibility that their child may become involved with drugs or other crimes. The number of children involved in crime or taking drugs at a young age is staggering.  As active members of the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) and local, state and federal Law Enforcement, we help promote anti-drug programs as well as conduct our own anger management and conflict resolution program. Our programs are designed to promote self-confidence and self-esteem giving your child the strength to resist peer pressure.

 

High Energy Classes: Fun-filled classes your child will truly enjoy! From the children's point of view, the best part about our program is how much fun the classes really are. We focus on your child's energy in a positive and productive manner.

 

Realistic Self-Defense Skills: That could save your child's life! While we wish it weren't a factor in our program, that fact remains that we live in a world full of undesirable people. We don't give children a false sense of reality by teaching them how to be victorious only in competition. Our program teaches your child how to protect themselves in real life-threatening situations. This invaluable skill could be the difference between life and death!

 

Personalized Attention: To ensure rapid progress! We focus on quality instruction and personal attention. Our students are treated as individuals. All of our classes are taught by highly trained instructors committed to excellence and continued learning. You'll feel safe knowing your child is receiving the finest instruction possible!

ATTENTION PARENTS:  Do You Have A Child 3 - 7 Years Old?

 

 

If so, then you'll be pleased to know that we include them in our kids Tuesday and Thursday Brazilian Jiu JItsu program.  At Team Randori Martial Arts, we are on a mission to reach out to as many pre-schoolers in our community as possible. Laying a strong foundation for our youth is our mission. Our kids Jiu Jitsu Program is specially designed for 3 to 7 year old.  There are eight major skills that our instructors focus on: Focus, Team Work, Control, Balance, Memory, Discipline, Fitness, and Coordination.

In each class, we cover one of these skills with a wide variety of activities that are fun, educational and, at the same time, get your child physically fit. The following are some activities that we will cover in our class:

  •  Speed Test - all the students move about (like ninjas) until we give the command "attention." They must all move to attention as fast as they can. This drill teaches them discipline to stand still when told.
  • The Jungle Game - we all pretend that we are in the jungle and when the instructor calls out an object such as a branch, they all must duck; if the instructor says log, they must jump; if the instructor says bear, they must pretend to be sleeping, so the bear does not see them. This drill works on their memory and reaction skills, not to mention that it is a great workout.
  • Clean-up - we take all of our targets and kicking pads and place them all over the floor. We then split the class into teams and have a contest to see which team can pick up the fastest. This teaches them teamwork, and also makes cleaning their own room fun.
  • Personal Development - Each day we draw a special lesson out of our ninja hat and discuss how each lesson can help us become a better student.

As you can see, we make learning fun and educational. Martial Arts are much more than kicking and punching; it's being the best that you can be in everything you do. With our kids' Jiu Jitsu program, you can be sure your child will learn valuable skills that will last a lifetime.

What People Say About Team Randori

CLICK HERE TO START YOUR CHILD ON THE PATH TO SUCCESS

Team Randori is a special place. The coaching staff has a lot of great experience and more importantly is great at actually teaching and sharing it. They’ve also made a point of curating an academy roster full of respectful and safe training partners. Professor Al is always looking for ways to improve the experience for students, and also just happens to be a real good guy. Whether you’ve never tried BJJ before or are a grizzled vet new to the area and looking for a gym, you won’t find better.

Justin H

My son tried Taekwondo when he was really young, but it moved too slow for him to hold interest. As a teenager now, we decided to try Jiu Jitsu. We signed up for the free trial week with Team Randori. Professor Al was awesome! He seemed to really know how to talk to my son on his level and made him laugh. He partnered my son with a skilled, patient student. My son was worried about being pointed out as a new student because that would have made him uncomfortable. Instead, he appreciated that he was “thrown in the mix” right away. He was happy that his partner went slow with him and walked him through each step. He mentioned several times after class that, “everyone was so nice.” It warmed my heart to see my son smile the entire class even though I could tell he was a little anxious the whole time. Overall, it was an extremely positive experience. I’m now considering it for my daughter. Thank you Professor Al and Team Randori!

Fantastic, welcoming, school for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Great family atmosphere, that is supportive of everyone's goals, from the middle-age hobbyist to younger competitors. I've been training here for about a year and half (after a several year hiatus from another school), and now have two kids that do both BJJ and wrestling classes and it's been great to see them challenged and stretched beyond their comfort zones. No matter what your goals are, Team Randori is an environment where everyone is met where they are in a non-judgemental and friendly environment. If you are thinking about trying it out, just come give it a try. It is not easy, but it's worth it!

Jacob Wenegrat

I picked this class up last minute on ClassPass and it was the best decision. Al was an amazing instructor and I left more confident than when I showed up. I will definitely be coming back here and recommending this place to anyone who wants to either start bjj or just have a random fun workout. 10/10 experience

Lali Rodriguez

This is the second gym I have set my BJJ roots in and have been attending for over two years now. This is where I made blue belt and participated in my first ever competition while wearing the Team Randori name. It’s been life changing for me. The training, atmosphere, community, teachers and experience this gym has is top notch. It is always super clean and the month by month membership makes it super flexible for people with busy lives. This gym is an amazing fit for all ages. To anyone looking for the right gym in the area, this is the place to be. Much respect to Al, his team, and everyone who attends! Highly recommend!

Walter

Team Randori is top notch. My son has been going there for over a year now. He is honestly not the most athletic. Al and his team of coaches know how to motivate the kids without being rude or demeaning. They are incredibly knowledgeable and great teachers. Also, give a look to Al’s bio… his resume is impressive.

7 Days Not Enough?

 

 

Are you worried that after joining our academy you may end up regretting it?

 

You Will NEVER regret Joining our Academy!!!

 

How confident am I of that statement?

 

I am so confident that, along with offering the ABSOLUTE BEST FREE TRIAL MEMBERSHIP, I can also offer a...... 

 

30 DAY IRON CLAD / NO QUESTIONS ASKED / 100% MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE!!

 

 

That's right!!!  If, after 30 days at Team Randori Martial Arts, you are not satisfied with the level, quality or technical ability of instruction we have given your child, and if you can tell us that you have not seen any improvement in them - I'll, personally, write you a check for your entire investment in us, on the spot!!  No other school, dojo or whatever they decide to call themselves....offers this sort of 100% guarantee.  That is one reason why we are Annapolis' Premier Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy.

 

Why don't other schools offer a money-back guarantee?  For the same reason, other schools don't offer a FREE TRIAL with all the amenities we offer... It's because they are NOT competent or confident in their products and services.  When you have a lower level belt instructor, teach classes.  That should send up a red flag...  If they have an instructor who is not IBJJF registered or certified... That should definitely be a Red Flag.  That's like going to a dentist that has not gone to dental school.  I'm not trusting my teeth to him. Nor should you....  No IBJJF registration or certification equals no criminal history background check.

 

So to be 100% clear... I am not running a charity... I offer 7 days free and a 30-day money-back guarantee.  That's because I am 100% positive that if you come to my academy, you will love it.  I'm positive that after you watch one of our classes you'll see why we are the best in the area and immediately join our academy and never even consider using our money-back guarantee.  For me, it's not a gamble.  I've seen people come through the door a thousand times and have read all 200 of our outstanding Google reviews (Have you checked them out????)  We are simply the BEST academy in Annapolis, and I know you will love it to.....
