Children as young as 3 years old are usually introduced to Jiu Jitsu through play. Introducing movement, cultivating enthusiasm, and building stamina for focused teaching in the next level. This group is all about fun through movement and energy management.
7-10 year olds are introduced to basic Jiu Jitsu techniques and positions. The focus in this class is to create familiarity of the foundational techniques in Jiu Jitsu and the context of their application in practice. Usually, the coach will partner with the child, unless the child has developed enough control to train with their classmate.
From ages 8-13 years old the kids are now shifting into a structured training program which closely resembles an adult class. Exercise drills are more intentional in developing the physical and mental prerequisites to practice with a resisting partner. The children partner with one another and may even begin to spar each other for practice against a resisting opponent.
