BEAR HUG
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Self-Defense

Yes—when taught correctly.
We emphasize:
Controlled takedowns and safe landing mechanics (breakfalls).
Position over submission for beginners: first learn to escape and control; submissions come later and under strict supervision.
Tap culture: tapping is smart, respected, and required.
Hygiene: clean mats, clean gis, water breaks, and rest when needed.
We keep coaching ratios tight and pair kids thoughtfully. Safety is culture first, technique second.
