KIDS JIU JITSU AT SAMURAI
Strength. Focus. Fun.
Building Confident and Resilient Kids
At Samurai Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, we believe the mat is a classroom for life. Our Kids BJJ program is designed to empower students ages 5–12 by combining elite martial arts instruction with essential life skills.
From foundational movement to advanced technical strategy, we provide a structured, safe, and supportive environment where children learn to overcome challenges, respect their peers, and build an unshakable sense of self-belief. Give your child the tools to navigate the world with confidence, discipline, and grit.
Self Defense
BJJ has been proven in law enforcement, military, and mixed martial arts to let smaller practitioners neutralize larger opponents through leverage and control. Its focus on position and submissions enables effective self-defense without relying on striking.
Confidence
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu builds confidence by teaching students to overcome resistance and adversity in a controlled setting, proving to themselves that they can handle pressure. Progressing through ranks and applying techniques successfully against real opponents reinforces resilience and self-belief that carry into daily life.
Fitness
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu delivers a full-body workout that builds strength, endurance, and cardiovascular health. Consistent training is shown to burn fat, build muscle, and dramatically improve overall conditioning.
What are the Benefits of Samurai BJJ
Kids BJJ (ages 5-7)
Our 5–7 year old Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class is designed to build confidence, coordination, and character in a fun and structured environment. Each class begins with energetic warm-ups that help develop balance, agility, and body awareness. Students then learn foundational takedowns, positional drills, and technical movements that teach them how to control and escape safely on the ground.
We also emphasize important life skills such as focus, respect, perseverance, and goal-setting, helping children learn how to work hard and support their teammates. Classes finish with supervised sparring, where students apply what they’ve learned in a safe, encouraging environment.
Our goal is not only to teach effective Jiu-Jitsu, but also to help young students grow into confident, disciplined, and resilient individuals.
Kids BJJ Fundamentals (ages 8-12)
Our Kids BJJ Fundamentals class (ages 8–12) introduces students to the core positions, movements, and techniques that form the foundation of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Each class includes warm-ups to build coordination and athleticism, followed by focused instruction on essential positions such as guard, mount, side control, and back control. Students practice these skills through structured drills and technical learning that help them understand how Jiu-Jitsu works in a practical way.
This class also provides a fun and supportive introduction to sparring, allowing students to safely apply what they learn while developing confidence, awareness, and resilience on the mat. Throughout training, we emphasize the mindset of Jiu-Jitsu—focus, discipline, respect, and perseverance—while encouraging students to set goals and take pride in their progress.
The Fundamentals class is designed to build a strong technical base and prepare students for the more demanding training and competition-focused skills taught in our Kids Advanced class.
Kids BJJ Advanced (ages 8-12)
Our Kids Advanced Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class is designed for students who have demonstrated strong focus, commitment, and a solid foundation in Jiu-Jitsu fundamentals. This class emphasizes hard work, technical development, and physical conditioning, helping students refine their skills and push their abilities to a higher level.
Students learn how to connect techniques together into effective sequences, developing the ability to apply Jiu-Jitsu against both trained and untrained opponents. Training includes advanced drilling, positional work, strategy, and challenging rounds of sparring that build resilience, composure, and a true fighting mindset. Competition preparation is also a key focus for students who wish to test their skills.
The Advanced class is a privilege, students are expected to maintain the discipline, focus, and positive attitude that reflect our team's values. Those who train in this class represent the standard of effort, respect, and determination that defines our academy.
