At Ascend, we embrace a philosophy that extends beyond the physical practice of Jiu-Jitsu. We emphasize core values of selfawareness, compassion, and resilience, helping our kids and youth learn to love and respect themselves and treat others with the same respect. Our programs introduce controlled adversity, recognizing it as the greatest builder of confidence and character. By developing grit and determination, our kids learn to achieve success through self-discipline, good habits, and perseverance.
