Introduce your child to the exciting world of martial arts with our Kids Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program at Vilanova BJJ. Designed specifically for children ages 4 to 6, our classes provide a safe, fun, and structured environment where young learners can develop essential life skills while getting active. Our goal is to teach Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in a way that promotes discipline, respect, focus, and self-confidence, laying a foundation for lifelong growth both on and off the mats.
Why Choose Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for Kids?
Our Kids Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program offers more than just physical activity. It helps children build strength, coordination, agility, and balance through grappling techniques while also nurturing mental attributes such as problem-solving, perseverance, and self-discipline. The values and skills learned in BJJ extend far beyond the mats, supporting your child’s overall development.
Age-Appropriate Techniques and Safety
Safety is our top priority, which is why we focus on teaching age-appropriate techniques that are easy for young children to learn and practice. Our curriculum includes:
- Basic Positions: Introducing children to key positions like closed guard, open guard, half guard, side control, mount, and back control.
- Escapes: Teaching safe and effective escapes to help kids develop confidence and resilience.
- Takedowns: Practicing simple and gentle takedowns such as double-leg and single-leg techniques.
- Submissions: Learning gentle submissions like the rear-naked choke and armbar with a focus on proper technique and control.
Our expert instructors provide hands-on guidance, ensuring that your child learns in a supportive and encouraging environment. We emphasize correct technique and gradual progression, making sure that each child feels comfortable and confident in their training.
