Kids Program

Give your kids the edge. Aside from the physical benefits of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (self defence, coordination, agility, increased fitness) it will help equip your kids with life skills such as resilience, problem solving, determination, strategic thinking (Jiu Jitsu is often referred to as “chess for the body”), patience, respect, discipline, assertiveness, leadership and how to handle stress and work under pressure.

Through our training curriculum, your child will develop a strength and presence of personality, empowering them so they are less likely to be targeted by potential bullies. The classes are a fantastic work out (expect them to be sweaty at the end) and great fun.

What to expect in a class

The class starts with a warm up for 5 minutes, consisting of various techniques such as break falls, rolling, tumbling, hip escapes and other movements which reinforce skills. Once warmed-up, the instructor will then teach a technique. The kids are then paired up with another training partner and guided to do the techniques themselves, under the guidance of the instructors. Once the technique has been practiced, the kids then carry out the technique without resistance. This allows them to practice the technique live. The final part of the class is the sparring where kids have the opportunity to combine their Jiu Jitsu techniques. The class then concludes with a fun game.
