FOUNDATIONS OF JIU-JITSU
Defense against a larger, untrained opponent.
Learn the essential self-defense techniques of Jiu-Jitsu developed from real-world confrontations and made famous by the Gracie family. The LŌKAHI Foundations of Jiu-Jitsu curriculum is comprised of 24 lessons, allowing adult students of any age and skill level to gain confidence through positional control and knowledge of the key concepts: base, balance, and leverage. In addition to learning safe movements and gym etiquette, students will also gain experience training in both gi and no-gi. Although Foundations is a standalone course, Collective Members of all ranks are able and encouraged to attend.
“I was referred to Lokahi after expressing a desire to start training in Brazilian Jiujitsu by a colleague and it was by far the best introduction I could have asked for to the sport. The instruction, community, and general vibe is friendly, welcoming, and a warm, motivating environment to train under.”

FUNDAMENTALS OF SPORT JIU-JITSU
Practice against other Jiu-Jitsu practitioners.
While Jiu-Jitsu is incredibly effective for self-defense, skilled practitioners wanted to find ways to challenge and test each other. Over time, they created rules and games leading to the sport we practice today. The LŌKAHI Fundamentals of Sport Jiu-Jitsu allows practitioners to explore new guards, concepts, and techniques in a fun and controlled environment. Through a rotating curriculum of the 7 different engagements, students will focus on positional battles, submissions, and an overview of the main rulesets used in competition. Fundamentals of Sport Jiu-Jitsu classes are offered to Adult Collective Members in both gi and no gi.

TEAM OPEN MAT
Community Open Mats have become a staple within the Omaha community since 2022. Each Sunday, we gladly welcome individuals from any gym and affiliation to train at NO COST. In exchange, we ask that everyone take responsibility in their training partner’s safety and in helping us keep the gym clean.
