Our Academy
We are an affiliate of JG Academy x Aspire to Inspire founded by second degree blackbelt, Javier Gomez. Our affiliation gives our members access to cross train at any of the 11+ academies in California and the US!
Our vision is to spread the Brazilian Jiu-jitsu lifestyle, create a sense of community through sport, and leave a positive impact through world class instruction.
About Our Programs
4-6 Year Olds
Our youngest kids program features a fast-paced 30 minute class. Students will learn basic movements, fundamental techniques, and be exposed to sparring in a fun and safe atmosphere. Through a combination of jiu jitsu based games and technical instruction students will gain a basic understanding of the sport while building discipline and focus.
7-9 Year Olds
Our 7-9 year olds train a 45 minute class with an increased emphasis on jiu jitsu techniques. We will focus on fundamental movements with an increased emphasis on application in sparring while still participating in some fun games and developmentally appropriate instruction. Students in this class will continue to learn how to demonstrate respect on the mat and follow proper jiu jitsu etiquette.
10-13 Year Olds
Our oldest kid's program trains 1 hour classes available 4 times a week including a nogi class. We continue to drill fundamental techniques with more rigorous warmups, drilling, and incorporation of competition strategy. Technical instruction is detailed and more broad than our younger classes. There is an increased emphasis on sparring and we hold our students to high expectations of respect and discipline.
Every class still ends with a fun game!
Kid's Comp Team
For our kids interested in competing, in addition to regular class attendance we offer competition team by invite. Our kid's competition team is part of the larger JG Academy Competition Team and students have the benefit of attending competition training at any of the JG locations as well as our in-house trainings which are hosted bi-monthly at our academy.
Our association provides unmatched support and access to training partners for our youth competitors. You can always count on our coaches to be present in your corner at tournaments!
Adults Gi
Our teens and adults program is accessible for all ages, experience levels, and fitness levels. Each class begins with a jiu jitsu based warmup, followed by technical instruction, and finishes with sparring. Our coaches are attentive and patient and will make sure to meet you where you are.
As with all our programs we emphasis safety and fundamentals, but our technical instruction will expose you to all facets of the sport!
Nogi
Nogi classes feature a higher pace to match the phsyical demand of the style. Warmups are typically focused on movements more applicable for nogi. Our technical instruction is still rooted in fundamentals but incorporates some more intricate techniques found in nogi grappling. Each class has plenty of opportunity for positional training and sparring rounds.
Nogi is open to all students!
Women's Class
We know jiu jitsu can be an uncomfortable sport for many women at first which is why we offer a women's only class. With female brown-belt instruction, this class offers all the same benefits of our regular adults classes but with women only training partners and an increased emphasis on self-defense application of techniques.At JG Lodi we pride ourselves in being a woman-friendly academy and find our female students ultimately choose to train in both this class and the mixed gender classes. The class is open to woman and girls ages 12 and up.
Private Lessons
Private lessons are a great way to rapidly improve your game. Whether you are gearing up for a competition, or just looking to start your journey, our instructors will work with you to help you learn and apply techniques best fit for your style, body, and ability!
