At Stonecoast, planning is one of the recognized principles linked with our training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. We set goals for each class, identifying the strengths and weaknesses of individuals whenever possible. This guarantees smooth progress and avoids unnecessary frustrations. For greatest value for motivation, goals should be specific and reasonably achievable.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is about efficiency. It's about learning how to use your body in the best possible way - to take down any opponent of any size. You'll develop control over your entire body, so you can use your whole body weight to take down opponents. That's how Brazilian Jiu Jitsu fighters go into matches against guys twice, even three times their size.
My daughter has been a student of Coach Durfee's for four years. She lives with Chronic Lyme Disease and has been very sick during most of the duration she has been training. We discovered that having her in BJJ was more beneficial than having her in PT and a lot more cost effective. In the past four years my daughter has made more advances in her health than she was ever thought to achieve.

Of all of the extra circulars we have done from Swimming to Gymnastics to Dance to team sports, nothing can compare to the experience that my kids have had over only three months at Stonecoast. I personally did Karate and TaeKwonDo when I was younger but nothing compares to Stonecoast's method of training JiuJitsu. Also you as a parent will be shocked at how great this is for teaching actual self defense to disable a threatening person without hurting them. Coaches are great, the kids are great, value is great, the facility is great. Love this place.

Amazing place. We’ve seen such huge improvements in my stepson’s behavior since we started him at Stonecoast. The coaches are all amazing with the kids and we love that the older kids help out with the littles. We recommend Stonecoast to everyone.

This has been far the most rewarding program for kids. Sinse my daughter started a few months ago,the change in her is remarkable. She has more confidence in her self,she can walk tall with a smile on her face. She can walk through those stonecoast doors and feel the love and respect from all the coaches and her teammates. Coach Durfee teaches his kids to love and respect one another,and most importantly to love and respect themselves, And SAFETY first.. I highly recommend Stonecoast for Kids..

I can't say enough good things about Stonecoast, I LOVE that Professor Durfee weaves in social and emotional skills into the classes. One of the best parenting decisions I have made has been bringing my daughter here.

My son loves it. I love watching him learn. Coach Durfee treats his students with respect and expects them to be respectful in return. After trying various other martial arts this one resonates with my son. Something real every class. Coach also has a great sense of humor that adds a lot of fun to the classes. Sarah runs the business side of the show flawlessly. Thumbs up all the way around.
