LITTLE RONINS PROGRAM

COME SEE HOW WE ROLL

At Bitterroot Warrior Arts, children or "Little Ronins" ("masterless ones") learn a combination of Judo, Jujitsu, Karate, Kickboxing and Self-Defense with an emphasis on physical conditioning for both strength and agility development.  Respect, courtesy, discipline, and self-discipline are equally emphasized. 
Self-confidence, Self-respect, Self-esteem, and Pride are the normal by-products of Judo-Jujitsu and Self-Defense training.  We teach the difference between Sport, Art, and Combat.  We are very family-oriented and we love to have FUN!

Classes consist of Taiso (Calisthenics), speed and balance, motor coordinating and strength drills. 
The class is rounded off with friendly Randori competition (sparring) to develop reflexes and counteractions.
Join us for classes at either Bitterroot Warrior Arts Hamilton at 192 Kurtz Lane or Bitterroot Warrior Arts Stevensville at 211 Main Street.
