Little Sharks receive lessons to boost their motor movement, develop coordination, balance, and agility over a 30 minute class. Over time, Children will gain self-esteem and exhibit confidence with their new jiu-jitsu techniques. 

At 45 minutes, our exciting Jiu-Jitsu program includes educational fitness-themed activities, and fun team building games three times a week. Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is the ideal method of self-defense for kids because it emphasizes leverage and technique over strength and power.

This focus makes it possible for all children to excel, regardless of their size or athletic ability. Our instructors constantly stress the value of when to use their skills (for self-defense, or in competition only.) The hidden exposure to direction following, humility & many other life lessons are a bonus. We enlighten everyone with many problem-solving skills, multi-tasking abilities along with cause & effect. Children who have high self-esteem have the confidence to stand up for themselves, and more apt to help others.

Those who participate in Jiu-Jitsu are proven to have better attention spans, which in turn means being a better student in school and better grades! They will learn gratitude, respect, loyalty, and the importance of keeping their bodies healthy and drug-free. Every child learns to follow directions, work as a team, and participate in class activities.
