Kids Jiu-Jitsu

The Solution to Bullying


Our Youth BJJ Program delivers more than just amazing Jiu-Jitsu to your child. At the heart the Program is our incredible Life Skills & Character Development Lessons that will help teach important topics to your child such as Grit, Impulse Control, Respect and Empathy, plus many more. Additionally, our primary focus with the children is to teach them Self-Defense and Bully Defense so that they can protect themselves when you're not around.

Our Self-Defense tactics, techniques and strategies for children are humane, highly effective and intelligently well thought out. The focus is not on striking or using unreasonable force to solve problems. In fact, physical force is the final step in our Self-Defense protocol, and even then kids are taught to be reasonable and humane in the application of force. 

The Self-Defense requirements of a child change rapidly by age and you can't train a child as if they were just a small version of an adult. Our programs address the age specific self-defense needs of your child.  Youths will also have fun learning how to spar with each other competitively and to do BJJ as a sport.
