Kids

Two young athletes practicing jiu-jitsu on the mats.

Real jiu-jitsu, learned through structured games and live problems with a partner who responds and resists. Instead of memorizing long sequences, children learn to manage distance, disrupt balance, reach useful positions, control and escape.

Scouts

Ages 4–5

Saturday · 9:00 AM · 60 minutes

Short, simple grappling games help our youngest group learn to move with a partner, manage space, balance, control and escape. Playful learning, grounded in real jiu-jitsu.

Sentinels

Ages 6–9

Monday · 6:00 PM · 60 minutes
Saturday · 10:15 AM · 60 minutes

More complex games and problems bring greater resistance and more decisions to make. Children continue to develop core jiu-jitsu skills through interaction with a partner.

Pioneers

Ages 10–14

Wednesday · 6:00 PM · 60 minutes
Saturday · 11:30 AM · 60 minutes

Increasingly sophisticated live grappling problems develop greater autonomy and tactical decision-making. A bridge toward the level of practice expected in the adult environment later.

Advanced Circle

Grey belt and up

Friday · 6:00 PM · 60 minutes

Additional training for experienced kids with an established jiu-jitsu base. Harder live problems, greater complexity and more autonomy. This circle is part of the kids program, not another age group.
