JIU JITSU

PROFESSOR DAVID VIDAL

The “gentle art” of Jiu Jitsu is predominantly a ground based martial art. Learn the principals of leverage, pressure and timing to achieve non-violent submissions. Exercise your body and your mind with a system of self defense that builds confidence and character. Professor David Vidal offers Casper’s only Black Belt source of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Experience the empowerment, camaraderie and fun that BJJ has to offer.

  • We recommend starting at age 15. Currently, we do not have a children’s program. In fact, most reputable academies do not. Here’s why: BJJ is not Karate. BJJ is not really a sport at all, rather, it is a highly tuned system of self-defense. This art requires maturity and refinement. Don’t worry we’ve got your kids covered! We have a host of limited time special programs designed for those under-age that can serve as a kick-starter. Parents are required to learn alongside their young ones.

  • Vidal Jiu Jitsu at LifeTime is $25/mo for unlimited classes.

    Professor Vidal has been teaching BJJ for more 2 decades! He gives everything he has to offer, shares his knowledge openly, and is personally invested in each one of his students. He helps people find their self-confidence, fosters a brother/sisterhood environment, and even raises up those who desire to fight on the world’s stage. Any rank you achieve here is recognized globally. This isn’t some after-school program- This is a highly sophisticated art that is delivered in a way that each and every student can learn.

  • Yes! and what are you waiting for anyway? Lifetime is a complete fitness club that has EVERYTHING you need to become a successful athlete. Stop in and ask for a tour. One of our friendly associates will be happy to show you around and answer all your questions. Still not sure, no problem; try it for a day and experience Lifetime for yourself.

  • No, you do not need a Gi to start. You will want to purchase one within the first few weeks of training though. Generally, we have some for sale but you can buy one online if you prefer. It can be any color you like. Just make sure it is a BJJ Gi and comes with a white belt.

  • Absolutely.

SPECIAL LIMITED TIME COURSES

BULLYPROOF

Following the family tradition the Gracie fathers introduced Jiu-jitsu to their sons & daughters; Grand Master Helio Gracie taught his children in a fun yet challenging way. We call them, the Gracie Games. Only once his children fell in love with the fun aspect of the art, did their father teach them the highly-effective, non-violent, self-defense techniques know today as Brazilian jiu-Jitsu.

Give your child the gift of confidence, discipline & fitness.

BullyProof instills confidence by teaching your child how to protect themselves from overly aggressive kids. First we use the Gracie Games to engage your child in the learning process. Next, we teach them a powerful 3-step progression for dealing with persistent bullies. Finally, we teach them 33 highly effective, non-violent self-defense techniques. With the confidence to deal with bullying head-on, your child will be ready for any challenge.   

BullyProof works. Bullies have been around since the dawn of man, and they aren't going away anytime soon. The U.S. Government's website against bullying, provides no sound solution for a child who is targeted by a persistent bully, and the string of highly publicized youth suicides is evidence that the schools cannot be entrusted with your child's safety.

Over the last 85 years, the Gracie family has successfully bully-proofed tens of thousands of children using time-tested strategies featured in the Gracie Bullyproof program. Due to its effectiveness, the Gracie Bullyproof program has already been featured on NBC, CNN, and Oprah.com as an effective counter-measure to bullying.

BullyProof shows your child that fitness can be fun. With child obesity rates at an all-time high, it is up to you to ensure that your child engages in regular physical activity. Most children do not like formal exercise, but they do like to play. We carefully combined physical activity with exciting mental stimulation to keep kids focused throughout the lessons. They have fun and get in shape at the same time.
