What Kids Jiu-Jitsu Is
Jiu-jitsu is grappling: kids learn positions, holds and escapes on the mat, with no punching and no kicking. When a hold gets tight, they tap (pat their partner or the mat), and everyone stops right away.
We teach it no-gi, which means regular athletic clothes instead of a martial arts uniform. Coach Chris runs both the kids class and our adult No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu class.
Nobody spars in the kids program. A coach supervises every minute and partners are matched by size and experience.
Why Jiu-Jitsu Works For Kids
No getting hit
There is no striking at all, which makes it a good fit for kids who are nervous about contact.
Staying calm under pressure
Kids practice getting out from under a partner. Staying calm and thinking is the whole skill.
Problem solving
Every position has an answer. Kids learn to figure out the next move instead of panicking.
