What to expect in our Youth Classes

Energetic Warm-Up: Expect fun activities like running games, animal crawls (bear crawls, crab walks), and dynamic stretches that improve agility and prepare young bodies for grappling movements. Fundamentals & Technique: Instructors demonstrate foundational Brazilian Jiu Jitsu techniques using clear, simple language. This could include basic stances, break falls, how to maintain positions, and introductory escapes or submissions suitable for their age group. Safety is paramount in all technique instruction. Drilling Techniques: Students practice the techniques in pairs. This repetition under the guidance of instructors helps solidify understanding and build confidence in executing movements. We emphasize helping partners and positive interaction. Games & Application: Sometimes, we use BJJ-specific games that reinforce techniques or concepts in a playful way. This can bridge the gap between drilling and live application.
