What they learn.

Each month shifts focus across three areas, with techniques taught from the mat and the feet, and an emphasis on control and partner safety.

1

Universal movements

How to fall, roll, shrimp, bridge and stand up safely. The body awareness that carries into every sport.

2

Specific techniques

Takedowns, pins, escapes and submissions, taught in a safe progression with control first.

3

Games-based training

Live, playful drills that build the skills without anyone knowing they are working. Kids push themselves physically and mentally and grow confidence through improvement.

Three a week.

Before you come in.

What does my kid need for the first class?

Athletic clothes and a water bottle. The $100 initiation fee when you join covers a gi and belt.

Is it safe?

Partner safety is the first rule on the mat. Techniques are taught in a controlled progression and every coach is on the mat with the kids.

Do kids compete?

Some do, and our coaches prepare them for it. Competition is never required.
