Bayside Jiu Jitsu

Bayside Jiu Jitsu is part of the broader Bayside Athletics complex in Milford, Delaware, owned and operated by Jennifer and Jeremy McEntire. While the McEntires bring a combined 40-plus years of experience in education, coaching, and program development, Bayside Jiu Jitsu represents their commitment to martial arts as a tool for empowerment, fitness, and self-defense. The program is integrated into a facility that also offers gymnastics, cheer, ninja training, and adaptive athletics, reflecting a diverse approach to physical education and youth development. The curriculum at Bayside Jiu Jitsu emphasizes gi training across various skill levels, with classes structured for kids aged 9 and up as well as adults. Beginners can start in fundamentals classes tailored by age and gender, such as girls-only beginner groups, before progressing to intermediate sessions. More advanced students participate in team practices named Bronze, Gold, and Platinum, which focus on refining technique and preparing for competition. The academy maintains a schedule that supports steady progression and includes drop-in options to accommodate different training needs. Training at Bayside blends traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with the facility’s larger athletic environment, encouraging students to develop coordination, focus, and resilience alongside their grappling skills. The space is wheelchair accessible, underscoring an inclusive approach to instruction. While the McEntires’ backgrounds in education shape a thoughtful program structure, the day-to-day classes are designed to build confidence and technique for both youth and adults in a setting that values steady, skill-based advancement.
