Kids Jiu-jitsu

What is jiu-jitsu?
Jiu-jitsu is a martial art focused on grappling techniques for both self-defense and sport. Kicks and punches are not practiced. Instead, jiu-jitsu uses techniques which make use of leverage and timing to takedown a larger opponent and control them on the ground.

Why jiu-jitsu?
Kids will develop coordination, agility, balance, fitness and self-defense skills through a curriculum structured around drills, movements and games built from Brazilian jiu-jitsu techniques. Students will also build self-confidence, respect for their training partners and an ability to concentrate and follow instructions.

Our programs
We offer classes catered towards two different age groups. Our younger group (ages 3-8) uses drills and mini-games to introduce children to movements and techniques relevant to the self-defense applications of jiu-jitsu. These classes develop real world skills in a safe and fun environment.
Our older group (ages 9+) continues to develop these skills in a class structured more similarly to a typical adult class. In addition to self-defense, sport oriented techniques are introduced for those interested in participating in competition.

Schedule
Ages 3-8 - Tuesday and Wednesday from 4:15-5 pm, Sundays from 1:15-2 pm
Ages 9+ - Tuesday and Wednesday from 5-6 pm, Sundays from 2-3 pm
