Kids Martial Arts is the Perfect Bully Prevention Program

We use Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as a tool to incorporate useful life-skills in your child's life. We start with physical self-defense, move on to mental and verbal self-defense, and tie it all together with character development. By utilizing this multi-layer approach, we guarantee that you will see a difference in your child as they progress through our classes!

With Martial Arts, your child can develop:

• Greater confidence and self-respect
• Helpful physical techniques used in self-defense
• Coached and effective responses to verbal abuse
• Increased responsibility and manners

Jiu-Jitsu For All Ages

We know that as your child grows, there are different things that they can handle and that they will encounter. That's why we've set up different programs that are either age-specific or ability specific so that way your child can learn in a group of their peers and grow at a speed that is comfortable for them.

We offer 2 different Kids Martial Arts Classes:

Ages 3 to 5

Sometimes learning is hard to grasp for younger kids, so we've turned this class into a play session! Instead of having to focus on learning, we teach Jiu-Jitsu through "playing" Jiu-Jitsu. Instead of feeling like they are being told to do something, your children get to come and play games, and secretly learn the foundations of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. These games also develop their reflexes so they will be able to graduate to our class for kids ages 6 to 12.

Ages 6 to 12

We teach nearly all of the techniques taught in the Adult BJJ Class and focus on teaching your child how to defend themselves from any type of physical attack. Without having to throw a punch or a kick, they will be able to neutralize a bully's attack and establish control over them until help arrives. This instills a great deal of confidence and self-respect as a fun by-product!
