Kids Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ)

A Safe and Effective Self-Defense System for Kids
Unlike many martial arts programs that focus on strikes like punches, kicks, and elbows, our Kids BJJ program emphasizes defensive techniques that are non-violent and non-striking. We teach children how to protect themselves and neutralize threats through control, not violence. This focus on defense helps kids confidently handle situations like bullying while fostering essential life skills that will benefit them in all areas of life.

BJJ for Kids (Ages 6-9)

Our Kids BJJ program is designed to improve fitness, confidence, respect, and a strong work ethic while providing a solid foundation in self-defense. We focus on teaching practical techniques for chil

dren to use in real-world situations. Classes are structured to be fun, safe, and engaging, ensuring each child feels supported and encouraged.

Class Structure:

  • Warm-up: Fun physical exercises and BJJ movement drills
  • Technique: Learn and practice a new technique each class
  • Active Practice: Games like “tackling the giant” (for younger groups) to build skills
  • Rolling: Sparring with friends to apply techniques in live situations
  • Supervision: All classes are overseen by an instructor in a safe, friendly environment

Our goal is to ensure each child leaves class with more confidence and a smile on their face!

 

 

 

Why Should Kids Learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu? (Ages 6-9)

Non-Violent Self-Defense
Unlike most martial arts, which often involve striking, BJJ is centered around leverage, control, and submission. This makes it a highly effective and non-violent way for kids to defend themselves. BJJ’s principles give even smaller children an advantage over larger opponents, helping them manage potentially dangerous situations with confidence.

No Striking, Just Control
In BJJ, kids learn to use leverage to control and neutralize a threat without resorting to punches or kicks. This empowers them to face challenges like bullying and unwanted aggression with the confidence to defend themselves and seek help when needed.

The Benefits of BJJ for Kids

Building Confidence and Coordination
Through games and interactive drills, children learn how to use body awareness and coordination to defend themselves effectively. As they practice with partners, kids develop a strong sense of balance, leverage, and reaction time, which translates into confidence not just in BJJ but in other areas of life, including sports and school.

Learning Through Action and Reaction
BJJ is built on the principles of action and reaction. Children develop the ability to read an opponent’s movements and respond appropriately, improving their ability to think on their feet and react under pressure.

Key BJJ Positions Your Child Will Learn:

  • Rear Mount
  • Mount
  • Knee on Belly
  • Side Control
  • Guard (Top/Bottom)
  • Half Guard
  • Turtle (Top/Bottom)

These positions are fundamental to controlling opponents in BJJ and are taught progressively, ensuring children develop a well-rounded understanding of grappling and self-defense techniques.
