Kids learn to listen to their instructors, follow instructions, and treat their training partners with respect, which can positively influence their behavior both on and off the mat.

It involves full-body movements, balance exercises, and cardiovascular conditioning, helping children develop strength, flexibility, and coordination in a fun and engaging way.

  • Boost in Confidence and Self-Esteem: Through their progress in Jiu Jitsu, children gain confidence in their abilities and develop a positive self-image.
