Commonly Asked Questions About Kids BJJ Classes

As a parent, you may have more than a few questions about any programs your child joins and what you might expect. Below we have answered a few of our most commonly received questions. 

Can A Child Safely Learn BJJ?

Because Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a grappling-based martial art, kids are taught how to protect themselves without using punches or kicks, making the class even safer for your child. Children can also learn various life lessons from BJJ, including discipline, respect, friendship, and work ethic. 

Does BJJ Teach Discipline?

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu teaches discipline through a controlled learning environment and the need for constant practice to advance. Respect for teachers and other students and adherence to the dojo’s regulations and schedule are among the lessons that pupils acquire.

Can BJJ Help My Child Be More Confident?

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can improve and strengthen a child’s self-confidence by developing new abilities, accomplishing individual goals, and triumphing over challenges. Children’s confidence often increases as they advance in their lessons, obtain new belts, and observe how their abilities evolve in the gym or during competitions.

I tried a few classes at another bjj school in NJ, but after one class here I knew it was the one for me. The instructors are great and so is the usual crowd. Everyone is friendly, patient, and understanding. It felt like I found a new little community. On top of that I come out of every class feeing like I learned something new. Truly a great place with the best people. 10/10 would recommend.

Have been there three months so far. The head instructor Lou is extremely professional and welcoming. The atmosphere is very supportive, members all strive to help each other learn and grow as Jiu Jitsu martial artists. I originally joined to get into shape and lose some weight. In doing so, I have found BJJ to be both physically AND mentally interesting, fortifying, strengthening, as it tests your capacity to learn and grow in multiple dimensions. Would recommend to anyone.
