Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a martial art with a strong focus on grappling. Descended from Judo and developed in Brazil for generations by the Gracie family, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu exploded in popularity in the United States due to its success during the early days of UFC (Mixed Martial Arts Competition).

It’s hard to be the King. You have to make all the decisions, order everyone around, get waited on hand and foot. Wait a minute! That sounds AWESOME! He had everything he could want.

Little did the King know that this bird would change his life forever. This hilarious adaptation of one of Hans Christian Anderson’s most classic tales teaches us the value of kindness, the power of song and above all else, the importance of laughter. Ages 5-12.
