Our kids classes are designed to teach children self-defense, discipline, and respect. They also get a lot of exercise and have a lot of fun!
These classes are open to students ages 7-12. In this program we will learn essential techniques required to perform on the ground, approaching the subject from both a sport and self-defense perspective. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu emphasizes using leverage and technique to overcome size and strength disadvantages, allowing smaller individuals to effectively defend themselves against larger, untrained, opponents. This has many practical applications for kids beyond the mats. Children will learn a variety of techniques, including take-downs, submissions (such as joint locks and chokes), and escapes, all aimed at controlling and neutralizing an opponent.
We offer both gi and no-gi classes. We do not require students to wear branded school rash guards or gis. Please contact us if you would like more information on appropriate attire for either type of class. You will want to purchase your child their own mouth guard.
