Our kids 5-8 class has an emphasis on learning the most basic Jiu-Jitsu movements that will not only help a child on the mat, but in almost any other athletic/physical endeavor they do in the future. We do address self-defense, and put them in specific (and always supervised) games/sparring situations that will challenge them, but having fun while learning is always the top priority for this age group.
Our 9-14 class in many ways resembles much of what is taught in our adult program, in smaller doses. In this class students really begin to learn the full spectrum of Jiu-Jitsu and its applications for both sport and self defense. While it is never mandatory, kids in this age group often decide to further challenge themselves in sport Jiu-Jitsu competition!
