PARENTS & KIDS
Resources and information for students and parents to get the most out of their BJJ journey.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
What you will learn on the mats, what to bring to class, and the few rules that keep everyone safe.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
Our program goes beyond physical training. Through Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, students develop essential life skills that help them grow into confident, disciplined, and compassionate individuals. Ages 5 to 12 train together, and during drill work and partner activities students are strictly paired by age, weight, and skill level.
Body Mechanics & Movement
Breakfalls, which is learning how to fall safely without injury, plus base, posture, spatial awareness, and agility.
Positional Control
Understanding how to safely control distance, maintain top control such as mount and side control, and defend from the bottom with guard retention.
Game-Based Drills
Concepts are taught through dynamic mini-games that focus on problem-solving, leverage, and balance rather than brute force.
Team-Building
End-of-class group games reinforce cooperation, communication, and mutual respect.
Self-Defense & Boundaries
A strong voice and clear verbal boundaries first, stop and back off, then stepping away. Telling a teacher, coach, or parent is a sign of awareness, not weakness. Physical defense is a last resort, and it is distance control and non-striking control holds only.
Character Building
Respect, integrity, and humility through the traditions and philosophy of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, plus the focus and resilience that stripes and promotions are actually earned with.
