KIDS JIU-JITSU

KIDS JIU-JITSU

AGES 2 -14 yrs

Our classes are thoughtfully separated by age groups: 2-4yrs (Parent & Child Class), 4-5 yrs, 6-8 yrs and 9 to 14 yrs. Kids learn Jiu-Jitsu and self-defense techniques through fun and engaging drills and games that are appropriate for their specific age group.

We teach our kids to be the best they can be both inside and outside the Academy by reinforcing the importance of respect for themselves and others, believing in themselves, and persevering through difficult challenges. Jiu-Jitsu also teaches them the importance of working hard not just for themselves, but for their teammates through dedication and discipline.
