Frequently Asked Questions
How old does my child need to be to start?
Our kids' programs typically start around age 5 or 6. Classes are broken down by age and skill level to ensure your child is learning in an environment that’s fun, safe, and developmentally appropriate.
Is Jiu-Jitsu good for shy or anxious kids?
Absolutely. Many parents notice a huge boost in confidence after just a few classes. Jiu-Jitsu gives kids a supportive space to build self-esteem, develop social skills, and gain the confidence to handle everyday challenges—on and off the mat.
What if my child has no martial arts experience?
No problem at all! Most kids who join are complete beginners. Our program is designed to teach the basics step-by-step, so your child will feel comfortable, welcomed, and encouraged from day one.
What should my child wear to class?
We provide all the necessary gear for beginners, including a loaner gi (uniform). Once your child decides to stick with the program, we can help you purchase their own gi. Just bring a water bottle and a positive attitude!
Will my child get hurt doing Jiu-Jitsu?
Safety is our top priority. Jiu-Jitsu is a controlled, technique-based martial art where kids learn how to fall, move, and train safely. Our instructors closely supervise all activities and emphasize respect, control, and proper technique to prevent injuries.
