CLASS OVERVIEW

What is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is often described as “physical chess” – a martial art that teaches kids how to use technique and strategy to overcome size and strength. Unlike striking-based martial arts, BJJ focuses on leverage, body control, and submissions, making it safe, practical, and hugely rewarding for children.

Through our junior program, students learn:

• Self-Defence Skills – giving them the confidence to stay safe and handle bullying situations responsibly.

• Fitness & Coordination – developing strength, balance, agility, and overall health.

• Discipline & Focus – helping with attention, respect, and perseverance both on the mats and at school.

• Teamwork & Friendship – building confidence in a supportive, fun environment.

Why BJJ for Kids?

BJJ is ideal for children because it promotes problem-solving, resilience, and confidence in a controlled, safe way. Kids learn how to train respectfully with partners, progress at their own pace, and celebrate achievements as they move through the belt system.
