Instruction
Students learn age-appropriate techniques that focus on control, positioning, escapes, and self-defense concepts. Instructors break each technique down into simple steps and ensure every child understands what they are learning.

Comfortable athletic clothing is all that's needed for a trial class. If your child decides to continue, we'll help you determine what uniform and equipment are required.
Unlike many sports where some children spend significant time on the sidelines, every student actively participates in every class. Jiu-Jitsu challenges children physically and mentally while teaching skills they can continue developing for years.
Getting started is easy. Simply come in for a free trial class, bring your child in comfortable athletic clothing, and let them experience the class for themselves. Most children know within a single class whether they love being on the mats.
