The younger generation has grown up on devices playing games.They find it fascinating to watch cartoon characters fight, but have you ever considered giving your child the opportunity to learn how to do this? Let’s face it, our children are growing up in a violent and dangerous time, making it scary to send them out into the world. Putting your children in BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) promotes self-defense in a controlled environment, allowing them to learn while getting their physical energy out.

Commonly Asked Questions
Do you have questions you would like to talk with us about before you send your child? We are always happy to talk with you and provide you with any information you need to feel comfortable with sending your child to our school. Here are a few examples of the most frequently asked questions people ask us.
What Does Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Teach Kids?
BJJ does not just teach children self-defense, it also teaches respect. While protection is a big part of the program, learning how to use their skills and strength appropriately and effectively is a large part of being a good practitioner of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. It also gives children a way to expel stress from their bodies. Children also face stressors, however they may not be able to name and pinpoint them like adults can. The physical activity side of BJJ encourages the body to release endorphins (brain chemicals) that reduce stress.
Is BJJ good for a 5-year-old kid?
Yes! This begins the development of good habits from a very young age. Stimulating the mind and physical body, BJJ introduces children to making exercise a good and important habit in their daily lives. Not only that, it is fun and opens many doors for future opportunities, such as competitions.
