Kids Gracie Jiu Jitsu Program

Our aim is to build champion kids who are well rounded athletically and academically. Our focus is to help kids develop both on and off the mat. Our Kids Gracie Jiu Jitsu Program will help your child develop:

• Discipline
• Self Control
• Manners and Social skills
• Self Confidence
• Concentration and Focus
• Character and fortitude
• Teamwork
• Fitness and Physical wellbeing

This is made possible by integrating physical education with our specialised self defence program. Children are taught self defence techniques in a martial arts environment. A combination of fun and skill oriented games and exercises ensure that your child will develop coordination, balance and strength. We focus on your child acquiring these skills and to understand when, how, why and in what context they should apply these skills. We do this in a fun friendly environment where your children will exercise both their mind and body.

Kids Jiu Jitsu Classes

Our Kids Jiu Jitsu Classes run every weekday and are split into two age groups, 5-8 year olds from 4:30pm and 9-15 year olds from 5:10pm. This will enable your children to understand control when partnered with children smaller than themselves. It will also give them an understanding of how to deal with a larger opponent. Bullying is a major concern for schools and parents alike, Gracie Jiu Jitsu can help your child gain the confidence to stand up for themselves, without resorting to violence.

As your kids grow they will be shown more complex techniques building on the fundamental skills that they have already acquired. Once they outgrow the teen’s class, the instructors will invite them to begin training with the adults in the adults classes. Usually a mix of some adult and some teen’s classes is encouraged to make sure this transition is smooth.

Another focus of our kids program is to teach kids the importance of manners and social skills. Kids will be taught to be empathetic and to help their teammates. Kids will also experience a solid workout. Exposing kids to the martial arts will help them be fit and healthy and ensure that they understand how to stay active, even through times of great stress, like exams. This produces quality outcomes for both the children and parents.

Tots Jiu Jitsu Classes

Our Thursday Tots Jiu Jitsu Class is designed for children who are 3.5-5 years old. Tailored specifically for preschoolers this program is based around giving your children movement skills that will be their foundation for their future in Jiu Jitsu or any other athletic endeavour. The 30 minute class has games, coordination and movement activities as well as Jiu Jitsu specific positional drills designed to stimulate and engage the kiddos.

The focus of these classes is to provide a fun learning environment where children are focusing on motor skills. In addition to this, children are encouraged to interact socially with each other and this helps children develop many desirable qualities such as:

• Discipline
• Courtesy
• Respect of one another and authority figures
• Self confidence
• Team work

Our qualified coaches are passionate about giving your child the best start in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Their commitment to quality and care for the students is evident.
