Kids Program FAQ
1. What ages can join kids jiu jitsu classes?
Our classes are designed for children ages 5–15, grouped by age and skill to ensure a safe, supportive environment.
2. Is jiu jitsu safe for kids?
Yes! It focuses on control, technique, and leverage rather than striking. Safety is our top priority—every class is supervised by two experienced coaches, ensuring students receive close guidance while training responsibly.
3. Will my child get hurt?
Minor bumps and bruises may happen, but serious injuries are rare. Kids learn how to fall safely, control their movements, and take care of their partners.
4. Do kids need prior experience?
No! We welcome beginners and advanced students alike. Classes start with fundamentals and progress at each child’s pace.
5. What are the benefits of kids jiu-jitsu?
Confidence
Discipline and focus
Respect for others
Physical coordination and fitness
Problem-solving and resilience
Anti-bullying skills
6. How often should my child train?
We recommend 2–3 classes per week for steady progress. Classes are Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 5:15–6:00 PM.
7. What should my child wear to class?
Comfortable athletic clothing is fine—pockets and zippers should be avoided. If your child decides to compete in tournaments, they will need to wear proper no-gi gear: rash guards and shorts/leggings.
8. Are parents allowed to watch classes?
During your child’s first trial week, parents are welcome to observe so you can see how classes run. After enrollment, we ask that parents allow children to train independently. This helps students focus, build confidence, and fully enjoy their learning experience. We provide updates and photos so you can still follow your child’s progress.
9. Do kids compete in tournaments?
Competition is optional. Some students enjoy testing their skills in tournaments, while others train just for fun!
10. How can I get started?
New kids students receive a free trial week. Fill out our form to schedule your child’s first class risk-free.
