KIDS BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU
Kids Program​
Our Kids Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program is designed to provide a comprehensive foundation by incorporating multiple styles of training. We emphasize discipline, confidence, and skill development in a supportive and structured environment that encourages growth both on and off the mats.
Traditional BJJ (Gi Training)
Students learn fundamental Brazilian Jiu Jitsu techniques while wearing the traditional gi (uniform). This form of training focuses on grip work, positional control, sweeps, and submissions—helping students develop patience, precision, and a deeper understanding of leverage and timing.
No-Gi Grappling
No-gi classes remove the traditional uniform and focus on control, movement, and adaptability. This style encourages faster reactions and helps students transition smoothly between gi and no-gi formats, broadening their overall grappling skill set.
Self-Defense
Our self-defense curriculum is tailored specifically for children, equipping them with practical tools to stay safe and confident in real-world situations. Training emphasizes awareness, verbal assertiveness, posture, and non-violent techniques for managing conflict.
