As part of our Fitness in the Park series, join us at Brackenridge Park for The Gentle Art of Jiu Jitsu, a family-friendly class led by Jiu Jitsu instructor Krystle Kruizenga of Mind Body Empowered.
Designed for ages 5 and up, this class introduces the fundamentals of Jiu Jitsu through mindful movement, mobility, and partner-based practice. Each session will begin with a quick grounding and meditation practice, followed by Kinetics mobility exercises and a warm-up featuring fundamental Jiu Jitsu movements. Participants will then work with partners to learn and practice specific techniques in a welcoming, supportive environment.
Whether you’re completely new to Jiu Jitsu or looking for a unique way to move, connect, and build confidence, all experience levels are welcome.
