Preserving the Art. Sharing the Secrets. In a Culture of Excellence!

​​

At Bindner Academy, we believe that martial arts training can help every child, teen, and adult develop the mental and physical skills they need to succeed in life. Training at Bindner Academy is much more than just self-defense. It's an education of moral and physical literacy, for building self-confidence, discipline, focus, and strength of mind, body and spirit, with positive social interaction. We teach our members how to set goals, work hard/smart, and follow through, all while having fun and making new friends.

​​

A LIFESTYLE

Whether you’re here for fitness, self-defense, confidence, or connection, our programs are designed to meet your goals and elevate your potential. Unlike schools that rely on fancy moves and athleticism, we focus on what truly works — a functional, real-world approach built on strong foundations and fundamentals.

​

You’ll learn how to protect yourself effectively and use mechanical advantage to overcome size and strength. No matter your age or athletic ability, Jiu-jitsu at Bindner Academy empowers you to move smarter, feel stronger, and thrive — on the mats, in the streets, and in everyday life.

​

 We encourage those who have a teachable spirit, a humble attitude, and a willingness to learn and grow, to join us on this amazing journey.​

METHODOLOGY

"Slow is smooth and smooth is fast”, for accuracy, retention, fun, and drastically minimizing the frequency and severity of injuries. We believe in applying minimum effort for maximum efficiency, and simplifying training, as to not "overload" the student's working memory. We believe that refined, intelligent training will lower the amount of energy the individual expends to accomplish their objectives.​​​

​​​

DEEPER NOT WIDER

Although you will gain powerful skills for protecting yourself, our Jiu-jitsu classes will give you a deeper understanding of the mechanics within the art, such as connection, weight distribution, distance management, controlling the center, and more. We emphasize the basics with foundational skill acquisition over competition. This is done for the simple facts that it greatly reduces injury, and expedites the student's progress. Our small class sizes means more individual attention, and ensures maximum safety while training. ​

​

PURPOSE-DRIVEN TRAINING

Jiu-jitsu emphasizes an "early neutralization” of harmful situations, ethically and responsibly by using awareness, and employing simple, applied physics, sound body-mechanics and bio-mechanics. This is achieved by practicing proper form and alignment, anatomical structure, posture, base, distraction, timing, angles, leverage, interception of force, and the redirection of energy at the optimal distance.

 

Students first work in a co-operative environment to learn the techniques, drills, and exercises in the spirit of harmony, then have the opportunity to put what they learned to the test with a resistive opponent in the LAB up-grade. A functional and versatile delivery system that works for all!

Jiu-Jitsu training is very powerful and life changing when the philosophy and the teacher align with the students’ values, goals, and expectations.
