Kid Ninja

In our Kid Ninja class, children have fun while gaining confidence, body awareness, and basic self-defense skills. Along the way, these students "learn how to learn" by developing group interaction skill, self-discipline, focus and respect for others. Through an abundance of praise, encouragement and positive reinforcement, Kid Ninjas are taught avoidance skills in a safe, fun, non-competitive and high energy environment!

Developing Confidence, Character, and self discipline for ages 3-7.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (also called BJJ) is a self-defense system, martial art, and combat sport system that focuses on grappling with particular emphasis on ground fighting. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu focuses on getting an opponent to the ground in order to neutralize possible strength or size advantages through ground fighting techniques and submission holds involving joint-locks and choke holds. On the ground, physical strength can be offset or enhanced through proper grappling techniques.

My granddaughter has down syndrome and she absolutely loves it. They are great with her and she has learned how to defend herself. I am so very proud of her and thankful for Billie and Dusty
My grandson loves his class and they are great with the kiddos.
I’ve never looked forward to working out, or going to the gym. Then I found EOSD. Billie and Dusty have such an inviting, educational, and fun establishment. I am eager, and excited to attend their classes. I always feel motivated, and energized after every class. If you are really looking
Super-nice people running EoSD, best workout I’ve had despite being a member at another gym for years. Who knew hitting and kicking a dummy would feel so good and get me in shape?! (kickboxing, Cardio Kick class) I’ll be a regular here.
Great people who work well with the family: they care about their clients; they encourage the best from the children who attend. I recommend them to anyone who is interested in the martial arts. A fantastic program!
