YOUTH DEVELOPMENT

KIDS BJJ

Confidence, discipline, and resilience — built one class at a time.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

BUILDING CHAMPIONS ON AND OFF THE MAT

Our Kids BJJ program is designed for children in the 4–5, 6–7, and 8–14 age groups. We blend the technical side of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with age-appropriate games, drills, and challenges that keep young athletes engaged while they develop real grappling skill.

Beyond technique, this program emphasizes discipline, confidence, and respect. Kids learn to handle adversity, work through frustration, and support their teammates — qualities that directly transfer to the classroom, the home, and everyday life.

Our anti-bullying curriculum gives students practical self-defense tools and the confidence to de-escalate conflict. Every class is supervised by experienced coaches who create a safe, positive environment where kids thrive.

Our youngest students, ages 4–5, are part of the Kids program too. Their Tiny Dragons Gi classes introduce martial arts through fun, age-appropriate activities that build coordination, confidence, and discipline from the very start.

WHAT THEY'LL LEARN

BALANCE & COORDINATION

Age-appropriate movement drills that develop body awareness, agility, and motor skills. Kids build an athletic foundation that translates to every sport and activity.

SELF-DEFENSE BASICS

Practical techniques for escaping grabs, controlling distance, and staying safe. Built around anti-bullying principles so kids know how to protect themselves without escalating.

DISCIPLINE & FOCUS

Structured classes that reward effort, patience, and consistency. Students learn to listen, follow instruction, and push through challenges — habits that carry into school and life.

TEAMWORK & RESPECT

Partner drills and group exercises teach kids to trust, communicate, and support their training partners. Respect for coaches, teammates, and the mats is non-negotiable.
