CHILDREN'S
PROGRAMS
CHILDREN'S
PROGRAMS
Children’s classes emphasize fun through freedom of movement and dexterity. It is important
that children learn to love Jiu Jitsu and the culture of group practice before they learn of its
competitive or self-defense aspects. This style of learning ensures that you child will develop
both physical and social skills that parents report improve overall behavior at home and school.
Jiu Jitsu for children allows your child to grow at his or her own pace and feel a sense of
accomplishment and confidence.
