KIDS PROGRAMS

Building Strong Foundations Through Fun and Movement.

​

Our Tiny Tacklers program introduces children ages 4–7 to the world of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu through fun, play-based learning. Kids will develop basic self-defense skills while also learning key values that last a lifetime — including Responsibility, Health, Respect, Citizenship, Manners, and Caring.

What makes this program so effective? We keep it exciting and engaging! Each class is designed to feel like play — with games that cleverly incorporate real Jiu-Jitsu techniques. This way, your child learns essential concepts like control, balance, and leverage while staying active and having a blast.

At Tiny Tacklers, we’re not just teaching martial arts — we’re helping your child grow into a confident, respectful, and kind young person, all in a safe and supportive environment.

Confidence, Discipline, and Real-World Self-Defense.

​

Our Jr. Jiu Jitsu program is designed to empower kids ages 8–14 with the tools they need to stay safe, stand tall, and thrive — both on and off the mats. Through practical self-defense techniques and scenario-based training, students learn how to handle bullying, peer pressure, and real-life challenges with confidence and calm.

One of the key focuses of the program is verbal assertiveness — teaching children how to use their words wisely and stand up for themselves respectfully and effectively.

No previous experience is needed. Whether your child is shy or outgoing, athletic or just getting started, they’ll feel welcome and supported every step of the way. 

At Jr. Jiu Jitsu, we’re building more than martial artists — we’re helping shape strong, respectful, and confident young leaders.

Learn. Grow. Roll.
Train No-Gi. Be ready for anything.

​

Our Juniors No-Gi classes offer a fun, fast-paced introduction to the world of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu—without the traditional gi (kimono). Instead of relying on clothing grips, students learn to control their partner using body movement, pressure, and smart positioning. This helps them build a strong foundation in practical grappling that improves both their No-Gi and Gi skills.

Without the gi to grab, techniques become more dynamic and realistic—similar to situations they might face in everyday life or in other sports. Learning to control a slippery, moving partner teaches kids how to stay calm under pressure, improve their balance, and react quickly—all while having fun and staying active.

No-Gi is also a great way to build confidence, discipline, and resilience. Whether your child is brand new to Jiu-Jitsu or already training in the Gi, our No-Gi classes are an exciting and valuable addition to their martial arts journey.

Confidence, Discipline, and Skill — One Kick at a Time!

​

At Tao of Jiu Jitsu, our Kids Jr. Muay Thai program is designed for students ages 8–14, offering a dynamic blend of striking and self-defense fundamentals in a safe, supportive environment. Students learn proper punching, kicking, clinch work, and movement — all while developing focus, discipline, and confidence.

What sets our program apart is how seamlessly it pairs with our Jiu Jitsu training. While Muay Thai sharpens reflexes, coordination, and stand-up power, Jiu Jitsu adds critical ground skills like control, escapes, and submissions. Together, these arts provide kids with a complete self-defense system that builds mental resilience, physical strength, and lifelong confidence — on and off the mat.
