Kids Classes at NWJJA - Our Approach
  • In our young kids classes, ages 4-10, we focus on games and fun.  All games are designed to improve balance, coordination, and focus, which will all translate to jiu jitsu.  We teach basic BJJ positions and concepts.

  • In our teens classes, ages 11-14, there’s more of a balance between games and pure jiu jitsu techniques, drills, and sparring.  Students will learn more advanced positions, techniques, and sequences.

What to know for your first day
  • Your first class is free!

  • ​No appointment needed - just show up ~10 mins early for any kids/teens class.  You'll meet the coach, sign a waiver, and get a quick tour.

  • Wear comfy gym/athletic clothing.  Make sure there are no zippers, snaps, buttons, or anything else metal that could damage the mats.

Rules & Expectations
  • Put your shoes and clothes on a shelf in the changing room

  • Always wear shoes into the bathroom

  • Wipe your feet and enter the mat only at the designated area - if you step off the mats, you can only re-enter from the feet-wiping area

  • Always respect your coach and training partners

  • Have fun!
