Nokado Adult Program

Our Adult Program offers men and women beginner, intermediate and advanced classes. Each student is given the opportunity to train with others at their level. We treat all of our students with the utmost respect and courtesy, at all times. Our adult program has been carefully designed to suit any person from any background. Age, physical condition, or handicaps are addressed on an individual basis so that each person will benefit and succeed at their training. Our teaching methods highlight your strengths and strengthen your weaknesses.

As in our Children and Teen Programs, we help our adult students realize their goals, both on and off the training floor, and teach them the techniques to achieve them. We teach the philosophy of Jiu-Jitsu, which encompasses the mental and internal elements, as well as the pure physical techniques that can save your life, or the life of a loved one.

There are three things you will develop in your study of Jiu-Jitsu at Nokado. First is your physical self. You will tone your muscles and condition your heart. Second is your state of mind. A by-product of being in good physical condition is that your mental abilities will become sharper. Third is your internal spirit and mood. The path of Jiu-Jitsu starts with the physical improvements. As we move quicker, more accurately and with less energy, a mental understanding of ourselves and our opponent develops. This leads to a feeling of confidence. The confidence of knowing that we can defend ourselves, and to a greater extent, that we can control ourselves, in any circumstance, makes us shine from within. Before long this glow becomes so bright that everyone will notice. Jiu-Jitsu is truly about improving ourselves so we may become the best we can.

Benefits

Physical Development
The Nokado Jiu Jitsu Center Curriculum of Martial includes a built in system for the improvement of one’s physical abilities. Our system includes physical fitness, athletic ability, self-defense skills, enhancement of one’s speed, power, and flexibility, and the development of well rounded and versatile Martial Artists.

Mental Development
Our Nokado Jiu Jitsu Center teaching system develops the individual’s abilities to focus and concentrate. To become highly skilled in the Martial Arts, one must be centered and focused, and the learning process emphasizes both these abilities through development of the student's concentration skills. Martial Arts helps to develop strong minds by teaching that anything is possible. This is what develops the "Yes, I Can" attitude.

Spiritual Development
Martial Arts teaches determination. Students learn to believe in themselves and what they are doing, and to never give up. They learn to put faith in their instructor’s ability to guide them to their next level of accomplishment and in their own ability to reach that level.

Character Development
Striving to develop a good character within ourselves is the facet that separates Martial Arts from other fitness programs and sporting activities. The development of an athlete is much simpler than the development of a Martial Arts student. Not only does an instructor have to work with the student to develop physical proficiency, he must also develop the mental skills and discipline. The Nokado Jiu Jitsu Center consistently demands respect, discipline, control, and a positive mental attitude from its students. An average Martial Arts school is one in which the students are skilled in the physical aspects of the program. A great Martial Arts school is defined by students who are well rounded and developed to perfection in all aspects of self-development. What separates a great Martial Arts instructor from an average one, is his attitude of caring towards his students and his determination to ensure that all four goals of the student creed are accomplished by them. What defines an outstanding Martial Arts Association is that it never sacrifices its ideals or values and strives to develop their students to their best potential.
