BJJ KIDS

TINY GRAPPLERS 

(Ages 3–5)
 

Our youngest students are introduced to Jiu-Jitsu through playful games and simple movements that develop coordination and balance. Classes are short, dynamic, and designed to keep children engaged while learning basic positions and mat etiquette.

Beyond the physical benefits, Tiny Grapplers start building focus and social skills. They learn to listen, follow instructions, and show respect to their coaches and classmates — values that support their growth at home and in school.

PROGRAM FOCUS

One of our main goals with our kids programs is to help children stay active, healthy, and socially engaged. Through regular physical activity and teamwork on the mats, we encourage kids to move more, build friendships, and spend less time on screens, developing strong bodies, focused minds, and positive habits for life.​​​​​​​
