KIDS INTRO TO BJJ

Picture
Summer is here! Join our 8-week session for an exciting martial arts program to build confidence, discipline, focus, and fitness in a fun and supportive environment!

The Kids Intro to BJJ 8-week program introduces children to the fundamentals of grappling, movement, and self-defense based on core Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) principles. Designed for kids ages 6–12, this program builds confidence, discipline, and physical coordination through structured games, drills, and safe partner exercises.​
Our curriculum is built on core BJJ principles such as:
  • Takedowns and balance control
  • Escapes from dominant positions
  • Basic submissions for awareness and safety
  • Self-defense strategies for real-life situations

Classes emphasize:
  • Respect, focus, and teamwork
  • Bully prevention and boundary-setting
  • Physical fitness and body control
  • A fun, encouraging environment for all experience levels

At the end of 8 weeks, students will receive:
  • A Certificate of Completion
  • White belt with 1st stripe

DRESS CODE
​

To keep our program safe, comfortable, and easy to join, we’ve designed our Kids Intro to BJJ program to be no-gi — meaning your child does not need a traditional martial arts uniform at this time.

What Your Child Should Wear:
  • Top: Rash guard or fitted athletic t-shirt (tucked in)
  • Bottom: Athletic shorts or leggings (no zippers, buttons, or pockets)
  • Feet: Barefoot on the mat (please make sure feet are clean before class)
  • Sandles/Slides: No bare feet off the mats
  • Optional: Mouthguard (especially for older kids or if contact is higher)

What to Avoid:
  • Loose or baggy clothing
  • Clothing with hard parts (zippers, snaps, buttons)
  • Jewelry, watches, or accessories
  • Open wounds or exposed skin irritations (please cover or notify staff)

Cleanliness Policy:
  • Students and all gear must be clean and dry before every class
  • Fingernails and toenails trimmed
  • Long hair tied back securely
