FOR PARENTS
Kids Martial Arts Classes in Miami
Our kids martial arts program is built on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, a grappling art that teaches control without striking. Here's what parents usually want to know before the first class.
Why Jiu-Jitsu for kids
Jiu-Jitsu focuses on positions, escapes and control rather than punches and kicks. Kids learn to use leverage and patience, and training with partners of similar age and size keeps it age-appropriate.
Our age groups
Mini Champions (3–5) learn coordination and safe falling through play. Little Champions (6–8) start foundational technique and practice handling conflict calmly. Junior Champions (9–13) train a full curriculum with supervised live training and an optional competition team. Check the schedule for the age range of each session.
What to look for during a trial
A trial gives you and your child a chance to meet the coaches and see how a class works. Notice how instructions are explained, how children practice with partners and whether your child feels comfortable asking for help.
You are welcome to stay and watch. Bring your questions about the program, the weekly schedule and getting started; our team can explain the options after your child's first class.
