Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for Youth

Youth Jiu-Jitsu (Ages 7-12)


Confidence, Discipline, and Skill Development


Our Youth Jiu-Jitsu program for ages 7–12 builds on the foundations developed in our younger kids program and introduces a more structured approach to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training.

 

At this stage, students are ready to train with greater focus, responsibility, and technical understanding. Classes help develop confidence, discipline, problem-solving skills, and resilience—both physically and mentally.

This program is ideal for beginners as well as students transitioning from our Kids Jiu-Jitsu Program(4-6 year olds).

What Students Learn

Youth classes focus on fundamental Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu techniques, bullyproofing, mobility, positional awareness, control, and safe practice. Students learn how to work with training partners, apply techniques thoughtfully, and remain calm under pressure.

Training emphasizes understanding and adaptability rather than memorization, helping students develop skills that continue to grow as they progress.

Class Structure and Progression

The program follows a very detailed and thorough curriculum, and classes are structured, intentional, and age-appropriate.

Instruction is broken down into clear steps, with guided drilling and supervised training that allows students to safely apply what they’ve learned. Progression is steady and based on consistency, understanding, knowledge, and readiness—not pressure.

Students who come through the Kids Jiu-Jitsu Program often transition smoothly due to their familiarity with expectations and class flow.

Character, Accountability, and Leadership

Character development is an important part of training in our youth program.

As students mature, expectations increase. Classes reinforce respect, discipline, accountability, and perseverance through consistent standards and instructor guidance. Students are encouraged to take ownership of their effort, behavior, and progress while learning how to support their teammates.

These values are reinforced alongside technical training, helping students grow not only as martial artists, but as confident and responsible individuals.

Safety and Supervision

Safety remains a top priority in our Youth Jiu-Jitsu Program.

 

All classes are supervised by our team of experienced instructors who emphasize control, communication, and respect. Training is designed to challenge students appropriately while minimizing unnecessary risk.

 

Parents can feel confident knowing their children are training in a responsible and well-managed environment.

 

Preparing for the Next Stage

 

As students approach their teenage years, we work closely with families to ensure a smooth and appropriate transition into the next stage of training.

 

Advancement into our Adult Jiu-Jitsu Program is based on individual readiness, maturity, and technical understanding—not just age. Our instructors take a thoughtful, student-first approach to ensure each transition is safe, confidence-building, and supportive.

 

When the time comes, students are introduced to adult classes gradually and with guidance, helping them continue their training in an environment where they can succeed.
