Building Leaders

The Kids Program is the heart and soul
of our academy.
We use Jiu Jitsu to shape the next generation of practitioners, and help instill the core values the martial arts provides such as Self-Discipline, Confidence, and Respect.

These classes are designed to help young children learn the fundamental concepts of Jiu Jitsu, while providing a platform to develop and improve balance and coordination, physical strength, focus in a group setting, social skills/team work, and resilience among many other skills that will translate to their development off the mat.

Kids 4-6 Program

This class focuses on the core principles, and concepts of Jiu Jitsu taught through the lens of a competitive sport.

Children learn to develop and improve their balance and coordination, physical strength, focus in a group setting, social skills/team work, and resilience among many other skills that will translate to their development off the mat.


An increased focus on goal setting, along with the development of the personal accountability, and the work ethic required to achieve their goals is present.

The program is simply the beginning of a process designed to build a new generation of Champions, and create leaders wherever life takes these young ones in the future.

Kids Basics Program (7+)

The All Levels class is open to every student regardless of experience level.

However, it is worth noting that the class does focus on more advanced concepts and technique.

This should not discourage beginners from attending, but instead should excite them to see what Jiu Jitsu can become as they learn to connect the techniques and concepts from the Basics class with the topics covered in the All Levels.
