Youth Jiu Jitsu

Q1: “Are these Jiu-Jitsu classes fun?”

YES! Our Jiu-Jitsu classes are not only educational, but also loads of fun. Instructors use a mix of drills, games, and exercises to keep everyone engaged and eager to learn. Plus, the classes are a great way to make new friends and enjoy the experience together.

Q2: “Do kids get injured in Martial Arts?”

While injuries can occur in any physical activity, including martial arts, the risk of injury in martial arts is generally low. Our Instructors prioritize the safety of our students and provide a well-supervised training environment.

Q3: “My child isn't particularly athletic. Can they still participate in Jiu-Jitsu-Jitsu?”

Absolutely. Martial Arts teaches kids to be coordinated, flexible and strong. Kids who don't naturally have these qualities develop them. Kids who do have these qualities grow them even more.

Q4: "How old does my child have to be to start your Jiu-Jitsu Program?"

Because of Jiu-Jitsu is a more complex martial art, we start students at age 6, or close to it. If you want your child to have early martial arts exposure, some other martial arts, like Karate & Taekwondo start students around 4.
