The kids class
One class, built for kids.
Kids from 3 to 13 train together in a class designed around them, with age-appropriate technique and coaches on the mat the whole time.
Ages 14+
Moving up
At 14, students join the adult and teen class. It runs right after the kids class, so older siblings and parents can train the same evening.
Monday to Friday evenings · No classes on weekends
What your child learns
More than self-defense.
Jiu-Jitsu teaches kids to use technique, leverage and problem-solving instead of size, strength or aggression. Unlike activities focused only on winning or losing, it rewards continuous improvement and personal growth.
- 01
Confidence for life
Kids build confidence through real skill. Parents often notice it at home and at school, not just on the mat.
- 02
Focus & self-control
Jiu-Jitsu teaches children to respond thoughtfully instead of reacting emotionally, and to handle challenges with resilience.
- 03
Coordination & body awareness
Balance, movement control and body awareness, built gradually through drills and games that feel like play.
- 04
Teamwork & friendships
Kids train with others who are learning and improving together. Class becomes something they look forward to every week.
