Our school, TORQUE BJJ, has aimed to create an holistic environment where our students feel part of a true community, where their self-esteem and confidence are nurtured through the sense of belonging. As a result, we clearly notice our students becoming fully devoted to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and binding themselves to their Torque lineage.

THE COORDINATION AND BODY AWARENESS PROJECT
For children between 5-7 years

Aim to enhance a child's spatial awareness, develop coordination and motor skills, as well as to help them grow confidence, social skills, teamwork and develop good manners. Kids also develop great potential by learning basic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu self defence techniques. As a consequence their motor coordination skills improve which helps them develop a stronger and more positive character as their self esteem and confidence grow more solidly.

THE GROWING CONFIDENCE PROJECT
For children between 8-14 years

Aims to help children to grow their confidence, improve social skills and build positive relationships, potentialize individual and team work, and develop good manners. Children also achieve great potential by learning more advanced self defence techniques and consequently enhancing coordination and motor skills. Their self esteem and confidence grow strongly and they develop a stronger and more positive character as a result.

"All the flowers of all the tomorrows are in the seeds of today."
