KidsEmpowering through the art of Jiu Jitsu.
This is the age where it clicks. Six to ten year olds can finally hold a sequence in their head, and Jiu Jitsu gives them something almost nothing else does: a physical problem they can actually solve.
It is also the age where the confidence question gets real. Kids this age are sorting out where they stand with each other. A child who knows — not hopes, knows — that they can handle themselves carries that differently. They tend to need it less, precisely because they have it.
Four days a week, Gi and No-Gi. Come once or come every session; the class is built so a brand-new white belt and a kid two stripes in both leave having worked on something real.
Our Kids program is crafted to introduce children to the art of BJJ in a dynamic and engaging manner. We prioritize physical development and mental toughness, ensuring every student thrives both on and off the mats in a supportive learning environment.
Four things every Kid takes home.
Coordination & Agility
Engaging drills that sharpen balance and motor skills during these key physical growth years.
Focus & Discipline
Helping kids learn to follow multi-step directions and stay on task in a structured team environment.
Confidence
Building “I can do it” attitudes through small wins and the excitement of mastering new physical challenges.
Respect
Fostering kindness, good sportsmanship, and teamwork with their peers from the very first day.
Exactly what happensin a class.
No surprises. This is the shape of every session, so you know what you are walking into before you get here.
- 0–10 min
Warm-up and movement
Shrimping, bridging, breakfalls, sprawls. The same patterns every class until the body owns them.
- 10–35 min
Technique of the week
One position, drilled with a partner and built on across the week — an escape, a guard pass, a control. Coaches correct on the mat, kid by kid.
- 35–50 min
Positional rounds
Live practice from a set starting position, matched by size and experience. This is where technique stops being theory.
- 50–60 min
Games and bow out
King of the mat, tug of war, or a team game. Then line up, bow out, and out the door on a high.
Kids on the mat.

The questionspeople actually ask.
- Will this make my child more aggressive?
- The opposite, consistently. Kids who train stop needing to prove anything — and they are the first to be told that what they learn does not leave the mat. Discipline and control are the actual curriculum; the techniques are how we teach it.
- My kid has never done a sport and is not athletic.
- Jiu Jitsu is the most forgiving martial art for exactly that kid. There is no bench, no cut, and nobody sits out. It rewards patience and problem-solving over speed and size — which is why so many of our best students were not "sporty" when they walked in.
- What if my child is being bullied?
- Tell us. Quietly, before class — it changes how we coach them. Jiu Jitsu is built on controlling a situation without hurting anyone, which is exactly the tool a bullied kid needs. The confidence usually arrives before the technique does.
One free class. No uniform to buy, no commitment, no sales pitch at the door.
