Led by 4-Time Jiu Jitsu World Champion Shane Jamil Hill-Taylor

Led by 4-time Jiu Jitsu World Champion Shane Jamil Hill-Taylor, the Apex Summer Program offers elite training in a positive, structured environment. With over 20 years of martial arts experience and 15+ years working with youth, Coach Shane brings world-class expertise and inspiration.

Campers train alongside top instructors, growing both on and off the mats.

The Program Includes

🏆 Structured Training & Accelerated Progress

With two daily training sessions, campers train far more than in regular classes, allowing for accelerated skill development.

White Belts

  • Can earn a full belt during camp
  • 2 stripes during the first half of camp
  • 2 stripes near the end of camp
  • Eligible to test for their next belt

Grey Belts & Higher

  • Significant technical improvement
  • Competition-ready skill development
  • Faster progress toward the next belt

Optional Striking & MMA Skill Exploration

Campers will have the opportunity to safely explore age-appropriate Boxing, Muay Thai, and MMA fundamentals under close supervision.

These sessions focus on movement, coordination, discipline, and confidence, never unsupervised sparring.

Children who prefer not to participate will continue with Jiu-Jitsu training during this time.
