Program Ethos
We believe that jiu jitsu provides kids with practical self-defence skills and promotes non-violent conflict resolution. It provides children with a holistic approach to personal development, instilling valuable life skills both on and off the mat.Our instructors use age-appropriate language to explain concepts and maintain a positive, encouraging atmosphere. Safety is a top priority at our academy.
In the spirit of growth and achievement, our Kids BJJ Program also introduces the concept of friendly competition. While emphasizing sportsmanship and teamwork, this element adds an exciting dimension to the learning experience, encouraging children to set goals and celebrate their progress in a supportive and enjoyable environment. We offer competition classes for kids with specific training according to different competition rulesets.
