Roots Kickboxing BJJ

Roots Kickboxing BJJ opened its doors in 2012 in Union City, CA, with a focus on empowering individuals through martial arts training. The academy offers instruction in both Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai, designed to build discipline, confidence, and physical fitness. While the school does not list a single head instructor publicly, its curriculum emphasizes structured classes for all ages, from children as young as four to adults well into their senior years. The program aims to support personal growth alongside technical skill development. Training at Roots follows a clear progression through fundamentals to more advanced techniques, with separate classes for youth and adults. The Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu curriculum includes gi-based classes for beginners and competitive cadets, providing a pathway for those interested in competition. Muay Thai classes are similarly structured, with sessions for children divided into "Tykes" and "Cadet" age groups, as well as all-levels adult classes. This approach allows students to develop striking and grappling skills in a focused environment six days per week. The academy’s facility on Horner Street is wheelchair accessible, reflecting an inclusive approach to martial arts training. Drop-in students are accepted, enabling flexible attendance. Beyond technique, Roots emphasizes martial arts as a vehicle for mental strength and self-improvement, aiming to foster respect and discipline across its diverse student body.
