PARENT FAQ
What parents ask us.
Will my child get hurt?
Classes use structured drills, controlled partner work and constant coach supervision. Like any sport, jiu jitsu carries some risk, and safe technique comes first in every class.
What age can my child start?
Kids can start at age 4. Classes are grouped by age and experience, and the coach keeps every group at a pace that fits.
How much are kids classes?
We offer flexible membership options depending on how often your child trains each week. Contact us for our current tuition rates and trial options.
Does my child need a uniform?
Not for their first trial class - comfortable athletic clothes are perfect. Once enrolled, we'll help get them fitted in a standard kids jiu jitsu gi.
Do kids have to compete?
No, competition is completely optional. Many kids train purely for fun, fitness, focus, and self-defense skills without ever competing.
