Our Parents & Kids Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class is a fun and welcoming Saturday session where families can learn together, stay active, and build confidence on the mats. Suitable for children from 4 years old, with kids and teens also welcome to train independently.

Learn Together
Build Confidence & Life Skills
Fun & Supportive Environment

Parents and children spend much of the class learning side by side, sharing the experience and celebrating each other's progress.

During some activities, we also rotate partners, allowing children to train with other children and parents to experience Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with other adults. It's the perfect balance of family time, learning, and fun.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu helps children build confidence, coordination, focus, and resilience through fun, structured training.

Parents often notice these skills carrying over into everyday life, including school, sports, and social situations, while enjoying the opportunity to learn and grow alongside their child.

Our classes are welcoming, beginner-friendly, and suitable for the whole family.

Whether you're trying Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for the first time or already have experience, our coaches create a positive environment where everyone can learn at their own pace, stay active, and enjoy training together.
