Common Questions from Parents
Is BJJ safe for kids?
Absolutely! BJJ is one of the safest martial arts. There's no striking, and techniques are taught progressively with safety as the top priority.
What age should my child start?
We offer programs starting at age 4 with our Little Champions class, with appropriate programs all the way through age 15.
Will BJJ make my child aggressive?
No! BJJ actually teaches self-control and discipline. Students learn to manage their emotions and resolve conflicts peacefully.
How often should my child train?
We recommend 2-3 times per week for best results, but we have flexible scheduling to work with busy family schedules.
What about the belt system?
Kids progress through a youth belt system that recognizes their growth and achievements. Belt tests are held regularly based on skill development.
