Who it's for

For the smallest white gis.

Kids Jiu-Jitsu is one class for children ages 3 to 11. No experience needed: every class is open to trial students, and we lend a gi for the free week.

  • Ages 3 to 11, Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 5:00 PM
  • Total beginners welcome, from their very first class
  • A loaner gi for trial classes, so there is nothing to sort out first
  • A friendly, no-ego room with clean mats

Inside a kids class

Three things every class builds.

Classes here focus on real self-defense, solid fundamentals and healthy conditioning. For a kid, that looks like this.

  1. Real self-defense

    Kids learn it at their own level, one position at a time.

  2. Solid fundamentals

    The basics, done right and repeated, so every class has something to build on and every kid can see their own progress.

  3. Healthy conditioning

    A full hour of moving on the mat, in a friendly, no-ego environment.
