Give your child the gift of confidence
The real power of martial arts does not come from its techniques. It comes from the life lessons you learn on the mat. Values such as respect and confidence learned on the mat seep into every aspect of life. You’ll see amazing changes in your child’s behavior after they start jiu jitsu because of the sense of responsibility and empowerment being able to defend yourself brings. Our classes teach these lessons to your child in a fun and engaging environment. Our instructors weave these lessons into each class using games and exercises that teach both self defense technique and life skills.
Based on leverage and technique rather than strength, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is an ideal sport for young children. It teaches valuable motor skills and coordination, and techniques are adapted to make learning fun and safe. if your child is older than four, we would love to meet them and help them on their first steps through life.
