Kids Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Classes

Welcome to the Gracie Humaita Ashburn Kids Program, where we believe Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is one of the greatest tools for building a confident, disciplined, and resilient child. Our kids' Jiu-Jitsu classes are designed for children of all ages and experience levels, providing a structured and supportive environment where they can learn and grow. We use a positive, family-friendly approach to instill important life skills and a love for fitness.

What Makes Our Kids Program Different?

Our curriculum goes far beyond the mat. We use the fundamentals of Jiu-Jitsu to teach your child how to handle challenges, both on and off the mat.

Character

Building:

We focus on developing core values like respect, discipline, and humility. Our instructors serve as mentors, guiding your child to become a responsible and respectful individual.

Bully Prevention & Self-Defense:

Our classes teach your child to defend themselves without relying on striking. They will learn effective self-defense techniques to safely neutralize a threat, giving them the confidence to stand up for themselves and others.

Physical and Mental Growth:

Through fun, engaging drills and games, children improve their coordination, strength, and physical fitness. They also develop mental toughness and a "can-do" attitude that helps them succeed in school and life.

Kids' Class Breakdown

To ensure every child receives the best instruction for their age, our kids' Jiu-Jitsu classes are divided into three groups.

Kids 3: Ages 7-10 These structured classes dive deeper into Jiu-Jitsu fundamentals and practical self-defense. Your child will learn how to handle themselves in various situations, building their confidence and problem-solving skills.
