There’s something powerful about stepping onto the mats for the first time. At Straight Blast Gym Niagara, we see it every day—people walking through our doors unsure, stressed, or out of shape… and walking out stronger, calmer, and more confident.
If you’re a Niagara parent looking for a way to help your child build confidence, discipline, and focus—without the pressure of competition or needing to “be tough”—you’ll want to hear about this.
In the world of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu—and really in any profession—there’s an important distinction that often gets overlooked: the difference between being certified and being qualified. A certified black belt means you’ve done the training, passed the tests, and received recognition—maybe even the title of “coach” or “professor.” It’s a milestone that deserves respect. But qualified? That’s a whole other level.
When it comes to martial arts, few disciplines offer the depth, practicality, and personal growth of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ).
Tonight's "Hits with Jits" class was an absolute blast! We took a deep dive into the art of entering against a tight cover, methodically breaking down each step to control and dominate the clinch.
Due to demand, our Growing Gorillas Kids Martial Arts and LifeSkills Program is adding another set of world class classes. Check out our new "Micro Monkeys" Program.
It's one of our most FUN times at the gym as you get to bring a buddy in to train with you for any of your classes.
The two greatest things kids can take back to school with them are confidence and self-esteem. We can help with both of those.
