From Riverfront and Strip to the Mat
If your week already includes running to the strip, the riverfront, or Kaaterskill trailheads, training Jiu-Jitsu in Tannersville is an easy next step. Kids who hike, skate, or play sports already have the balance and curiosity to do well on the mat.
Ski in the morning, roll in the afternoon. Classic Catskills day.
A Calm, Safe First Step Into Jiu-Jitsu
We keep the room small, calm, and structured so new students -- and new parents -- can relax. No loud sparring pit, no "toughen up" lectures. We teach consent, boundaries, and how to tap and stop safely.
If you drive up from Catskill and your child feels overwhelmed, we always have a quiet corner and a reset plan. They can watch, breathe, or try again another day. No pressure to push through tears just because you made the trip.
