Jiu-Jitsu Kids

Our children’s programme is very SPECIAL to us.  We offer authentic training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) for children aged between 5 and 14 years. 

Through training in our programme, children BENEFIT by gaining a clearer and more natural understanding of how their bodies feel, move and react to their physical environment.  Learning how to fall properly, how to improve their position in unfortunate or dangerous situations and understanding their physical strengths and limitations are just some of the natural outcomes of our well-balanced curriculum. 

In addition to these important physical benefits, children also develop positive mental attributes with LIFELONG impact: empowerment, confidence and high self-esteem; strong leadership, communication and social skills through constructive interaction with their teammates; discipline, work-ethic and determination through motivated and consistent training; respect for their teachers, teammates and most importantly, themselves.

As a martial art, BJJ is especially PRACTICAL and EFFECTIVE for children because it concentrates heavily on close-range grappling applications.  With thorough knowledge of grappling, children develop a sound, fundamental understanding of how to use their leverage to escape dangerous positions, how to deal with being grabbed and/or held against their will.  It is not as likely or realistic for a child to defend against a bigger, stronger adversary solely through the use of striking techniques; rather, a strong awareness of grappling serves as a solid foundation and can be complemented with other tools.

Perhaps more importantly, children in our programme will develop a GREATER level of comfort for all types of situations in their physical and social environment.  UNLOCKING the unique abilities within each child and cultivating their tools for dealing with their surroundings is a PRICELESS benefit that we consistently strive for in EVERY class.  Our programme provides the opportunity for children to build strong fundamentals from an early age and utilizes an INNOVATIVE training methodology to bring LASTING RESULTS. 

Practical techniques are creatively instilled through EXCITING games, cooperative exercises and role-playing scenarios that help to develop your child’s skills in a FUN and ENGAGING environment.  Our children have shown the ability to understand and execute BJJ techniques just as our adult students do.  Every single game or exercise played corresponds to important skills pertinent to their training. Our philosophy for teaching children is based on them having FUN while learning real, practical techniques that work.  Have your child come out and try a FREE class—we’re certain they are going to LOVE it!
