Kids Jiu Jitsu Levels
Young children at this stage are enthusiastic and curious learners who thrive on creativity and problem solving. We provide an age-appropriate program that introduces foundational jiu jitsu skills suited to their social and intellectual development. This ensures they build strong basics without being pushed to keep pace with older kids too soon.
Children in this “golden age” develop better vocabulary and problem-solving abilities but still value guidance from adults. Our program challenges their adventurous spirit and curiosity while strengthening core jiu jitsu techniques, preparing them to advance confidently.
Preteens in this group are physically capable and highly intelligent, but they can struggle with emotional focus due to social pressures. Our curriculum supports their emotional growth alongside advanced jiu jitsu skills, helping them stay motivated and successful.
Teens in the Elite Skillz program demonstrate dedication, discipline, and leadership potential. This program hones physical skills and focuses on developing leadership, emotional intelligence, and social skills essential for success inside and outside the gym.
