Youth No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu

 

Our Youth No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu program is offered year-round for children ages 6 through 13.

The program teaches practical grappling skills in a structured, safe, and encouraging environment. Students learn how to control positions, escape from difficult situations, apply takedowns, and develop a strong understanding of body movement and leverage.

Training is designed to help children improve their confidence, discipline, coordination, focus, and problem-solving skills. Classes include technical instruction, partner drills, positional training, and controlled live grappling.

Both beginners and experienced students are welcome. Athletes are partnered as appropriately as possible based on age, size, experience, and ability.
