Program Rates and Membership Policies
The goal of our Juniors Program is for students to develop good sportsmanship and a well-rounded Jiu-Jitsu game. With consistent training, your child will develop his/her coordination, balance, and agility, while building confidence and self-defense skills.
Classes consist of a fun warm-up, technical practice with partners, and live matches. At the Juniors level, we introduce takedown techniques and submissions, and therefore a higher level of responsibility is expected in this age group.
Safety is one of our biggest concerns; all training is supervised by qualified instructors and assistant instructors, and our staff and instructors have completed SafeSport training.
Our Kids Jiu-Jitsu program is open to children ages 5-8. Class is held every Saturday alongside our Juniors class from 11:00am to 11:55am.
The goal of our Kids Program is for students to develop good sportsmanship and a solid physical and mental foundation for the game of jiu-jitsu, and for the game of life. We teach kids the fundamentals of how to efficiently move their bodies on the mats. The techniques we show aren’t based on kicking and punching. Nor are they based on katas, or a prearranged set of movements carried out on cooperative training partners.
Instead, our students learn how to apply grappling techniques on a resisting partner, a realistic and grounded approach. With consistent training, your child will develop his/her coordination, balance, and agility, while building confidence and self-defense skills.
Safety is one of our main concerns. All training is supervised by qualified instructors and assistant instructors.
The Uniform – Gi & Belt
At this age, we introduce the kimono, or “gi” as it is called in Jiu-Jitsu practice. The Jiu-Jitsu gi is made of thicker material, and has a more tailored fit, than other types of martial arts uniforms. The gi is accompanied by a belt of rank that is worn around the waist. Jiu-jitsu belts have a black bar on one end for awarded stripes. We have both gis and belts for sale at our front desk.
