Kids Jiu-Jitsu & Self Defense
What makes Jiu-Jitsu so special are all of the hidden benefits of Jiu-Jitsu that will translate into every area of your child’s life. Self-defense, healthy habits, confidence, friendship, dealing with failure, and focus are just a few of the benefits your child will gain from training with us. We have several age-specific classes to meet the needs of students of any age (3 years old through college-age students).
Kids that train Jiu Jitsu are less likely to be bullied and less likely to be a bully.
- Tiny Kids (3 – 5 years old) – These classes are focused on fun, following directions, and basic athletic moves that mimic those used in Jiu-Jitsu. We include a basic Jiu-Jitsu technical to start building their foundation.
- Little Kids (6 – 9 years old) – The kids are a little older and better at focusing and giving their attention. They’ll start to learn a wide variety of Jiu-Jitsu techniques and positions. We focus on disciple, understanding the moves, and executing the moves. At this age, the kids really start to develop their style (their favorite moves) and can identify and execute a number of techniques. This is where many kids start their Jiu-Jitsu journey.
- Big Kids (10 – 13 years old) – Beginner or advanced kids at this age are like sponges, they can learn, implement and understand a wide variety of Jiu-Jitsu techniques and positions. These classes are focused on safety, technique, and really some of the finer details that this age group can understand and implement.
- All Ages – No matter the age, safety, discipline, and focus are paramount. We are always assessing the children as they train and may move them up if they’re developing quickly and/or are simply big/mature for their age. We do allow the kids to “wrestle” or what we call rolling. This is the time they can implement the skills they learn, explore new moves, and be creative with what they’ve learned.
