Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a martial art with a strong focus on grappling. Descended from Judo and developed in Brazil for generations by the Gracie family, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu exploded in popularity in the United States due to its success during the early days of UFC (Mixed Martial Arts Competition).

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu eventually became world famous as one of the most effective martial arts in the world and an excellent way for a smaller, weaker practioner to overcome a larger, stronger one without serious injury to either person.

KIDSTAGE PROGRAM “WONKA”

Mr. Willy Wonka is the greatest chocolate maker the world has seen and he has invited five kids to come and tour his factory! Among them is the gluttonous Agustus Goop, the gum-chewing Violet Beauregard, the severely nasty Veruca Salt and a brain-dead boy named Mike Teavee.

The final child to find a golden ticket and win a tour of the factory is the kind-hearted Charlie Bucket who is anxious to share the news with his dear mother and his Grandpa Joe! Last, but certainly not least, we meet the colorful and amusing Oompa Loompas that Mr. Willy Wonka brought back from Loompland to live and work in his factory. The Oompa Loompas have a knack for rhythm and help us learn from the events that unfold. Ages 5-12.
