Kids Program · Ages 5–12
Building confident, disciplined young warriors.
A structured, supervised and engaging program designed to give every child the tools to thrive — on the mats and in life.
Who it's for
Children ages 5–12, whether they're brand new to martial arts or already training. Classes run Monday through Thursday at 5pm.
At Shōgun Jiu Jitsu Academy, our structured kids program is built to develop discipline, confidence, and self-defense skills. Whether your child wants to compete one day or simply learn how to handle themselves, we teach the fundamentals of Jiu Jitsu in a supportive, closely supervised environment.
Through structured drills, partner practice, and problem-solving on the mats, kids develop real technical skill along with focus and persistence that carries over off the mats. We emphasize respect, control, and hard work.
Our coaches are clear with every child that what they learn is for supervised practice and appropriate self-defense — never for showing off or starting fights.
What to bring
- Athletic clothing (no zippers or pockets) for no-gi days

- A water bottle
- Long hair tied back; fingernails and toenails trimmed

FAQ
Common questions.
What ages do you accept?+
Our kids classes are for ages 5–12, grouped by age and experience within the class.
Is it safe?+
Jiu Jitsu is a contact sport, so injuries are possible. Our coaches supervise closely, teach control and proper technique, and children are taught to tap early and communicate with their partner. Tell us about any injuries or limitations before your child participates.
Will it teach my child to fight?+
We teach children how to defend themselves and how to avoid conflict. We can't promise training will stop bullying, but it helps kids stay calm, set boundaries, and ask a trusted adult for help.
Does my child need to be athletic or confident already?+
No. Children can start while they're still developing coordination, focus, and confidence. Let us know if your child is shy or nervous so we can help them feel welcome.
What are the kids membership options?+
Month-to-month is $140/month with no long-term agreement. A 12-month agreement is $120/month, billed monthly for twelve months. Kids day passes are also available.
