Kids Gi Jiu Jitsu: 7-13 yr old

About this event

Jiu Jitsu promotes the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend themselves or another against a bigger, stronger, heavier assailant by using proper technique, leverage, and most notably, taking the fight to the ground, and then applying joint locks and chokeholds to defeat the opponent. BJJ training can be used for sport grappling tournaments and in self-defense situations. Sparring (commonly referred to as "rolling" within the BJJ community) and live drilling play a major role in training, and a premium is placed on performance, especially in competition, in relation to progress and ascension through its ranking system. Kids classes range from 6 to 12 years old. This class is open to all skill levels, and although a Gi aka kimono is required, we have clean Gi's available to borrow whenever needed. We also recommend groin and mouth protection if you intend on sparring.
