You may have heard of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu before. Now, it’s time to know Phenom, a martial arts academy in San Fernando Valley.
It is undeniable that, nowadays, the world constantly demands physical and mental fortitude from us. And Jiu-Jitsu, a martial art originating from Japan and refined in Brazil, has been historically known for encompassing both these aspects, working body and mind to powerful levels.
Beyond its self-defense applications, Jiu-Jitsu offers a plethora of benefits for individuals of all ages and fitness levels. It has gained significant popularity worldwide in the last decades due to its transformative effects on practitioners.
From enhanced physical fitness to improved mental resilience, the practice of Jiu-Jitsu provides a holistic approach to personal growth and development.
In this article, we want to introduce you to Phenom: our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy in San Fernando Valley, going over our goals within the world of Jiu-Jitsu and what you can expect from our classes.
Phenom: A Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy in San Fernando Valley
Our history starts in 2012 with Christian Bello, our founder and driving force behind our activities.
His goal was to create a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy that would teach not only the martial arts aspects but greatly focus on the core values behind them to nurture the mind and promote personal growth.
Respect, discipline, self-confidence, and team spirit are these core values. According to Brazilian roots, they are integral to the practice of Jiu-Jitsu and play a pivotal element in our environment, as well as the community we have proudly built over these 11 years of activity.
Christian is an accomplished martial artist with multiple gold medals in international tournaments. He is a 3rd-degree black belt under the legendary Jiu-Jitsu competitor Romulo Barral, a 5-time world champion.
At Phenom, we believe that community is the most important element of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, so we take pride in cultivating a family-friendly environment where individuals of all ages and backgrounds feel welcome.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Classes for all ages
Our classes are designed to provide assistance and knowledge to those who aspire to be the best versions of themselves.
Students will learn self-defense techniques and develop mental resilience. And by teaching respect and discipline, we cultivate a positive and supportive training environment.
Little Sieto Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (Ages 4 to 7)
We start at very young ages, with our Little Sieto BJJ group, for kids between the ages of 4 and 7.
At this level, the focus of the classes on the physical level is on the development of strength, coordination, and balance.
Our instructors make sure to create a fun, safe and educational environment to teach the fundamentals of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu while also teaching self-discipline, and respect.
The results are phenomenal - and we can see a tremendous boost in our students' confidence and awareness.
Phenom Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (Ages 7+)
For the older kids, more resistant, coordinated, and capable of advanced moves we offer the Phenom BJJ structure, where they take their Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu learning to the next level.
They are pushed to the limit with more advanced techniques and are taught to control their minds to overcome any challenges they may face in life.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu All-Levels Teen Class
And finally, we have a class designed specifically for teenage students.
The core values of discipline and respect have proven time and time again to be a fundamental aspect in developing self-confidence and focus on life goals in our students of this age group.
The classes are developed to mix different levels of skill. In that way, the more experienced students can help their peers, and the least experienced can have a standard for the level they want to achieve.
This practice encourages working together and respecting your colleagues, creating a strong sense of community.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for Adults
And then we have our adult classes, again mixing individuals of all levels.
For the first time, we have a class for beginners, where you can learn the very basics of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and slowly advance to the most advanced techniques.
We offer classes with both traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu garments - one with the classic kimono (called Gi in Jiu-Jitsu culture) and one without Gi, so you can choose what you prefer.
We also have classes focusing on Randori, which is a free practice approach where you train the techniques you already know with a partner.
Additionally, we offer Jiu-Jitsu Pedagogy classes, if you want to have a comprehensive understanding of the fundamentals of Jiu-Jitsu in the deepest aspects.
