Kids Program Detail: Our Kids 5-7 program is for kids of all levels. Whether your child is looking to just have fun in an after school hobby, get some exercise, or wants to prepare for entering jiujitsu competitions, we have training for everyone. We teach kids how to work well with each other, develop self-confidence, the value of discipline and good physical training, all while providing a fun and safe environment. In this program we cover beginner and fundamental jiujitsu techniques, as well as develop their coordination through different drills, warmups, and games. In our Kids 8-13 program we cover beginner and fundamental Jiu-jitsu techniques, as well as start to introduce the students to some of the advanced concepts. This class is for all levels of students. We focus on developing the students’ fitness and coordination, while teaching them to work well with others and get accustomed to the sparring portion of the class. In the Kids NOGI class, students will learn the same beginner and fundamental techniques with an introduction to advanced Jiu-jitsu concepts as the regular gi classes, but adapted to NOGI situations. Uniform requirements are the same as the Adults NOGI classes: rash guard/dry-fit material type tops only, i.e. no cotton shirts, and men must wear jiu-jitsu/grappling type shorts over their tights or spats; women are allowed to wear just spats instead of grappling shorts. Please do not wear shorts with and metal or hard plastic on them. The Kids 8-13 Competition Class runs half an hour longer than the regular kids classes to allow for more training time to help the kids who are interested in competing prepare for the upcoming tournaments. In this class we cover the rules and strategies involved for the sporting aspect of Jiu-jitsu. Whether or not your child is interested in competition or not, this is still a great class for kids 8-13 of all skill levels and training goals.
