Bullying stops being scary

Kids who know they can handle themselves stop looking like targets. We teach them to use words first, walk away when they can, and control the situation if they can't.

  • Stands up straighter and speaks up
  • Handles frustration without melting down
  • Follows instructions the first time
  • Makes friends with kids who also work hard

Stripes and belts on the kids system

Kids rank through the IBJJF kids belts, earning stripes along the way. Each stripe is a goal they can reach in weeks, not years.

Parent questions

Before your first class

Is jiu jitsu safe for kids?

Kids train with partners their own age and size, under a professor for the whole class. There is no striking in the kids program. The focus is on control, not hurting anyone.

My kid isn't athletic. Will they fit in?

Most kids who walk in aren't. Jiu jitsu rewards patience and technique, and the quieter kids often do best.

Can I watch?

Yes. Parents are welcome to watch class, and a parent stays for the first one.

What does the free week include?

A full week of kids classes. You'll see the professor, the other kids and the routine before you decide anything.
