Kids Jiu Jitsu Program
Our children’s jiu jitsu program is designed to be safe, engaging, and fun for kids of all ages. We believe that martial arts should be enjoyable and can help foster confident children in our local communities through character development, physical activity, and teamwork.
About our Kids Jiu Jitsu Programs
If you’re a parent, you know how important it is to raise your kids to be kind, confident, and strong. At the Igor Gracie academy, we believe that martial arts is one of the best ways to foster those qualities in children.
We know it’s not always easy to find activities that engage and excite your child while also teaching them valuable lessons about themselves and others. That’s why we’ve created a program that combines the excitement of jiu jitsu with the self-discipline and confidence-building aspects of martial arts—all in a fun environment where students are surrounded by like-minded peers who want to help them succeed.
We separate our kids program into 3 different age groups so that every child gets the perfect balance of fun and challenge in their weekly classes.
A child needs absolutely no experience to start, and we guarantee a noticeable increase in your child’s confidence within just a few weeks!
3-5 Years Old
Your child will have fun and get strong while learning how to protect themselves! Our jiu jitsu program for 3- to 5-year olds will help your little one learn confidence, discipline, and how to defend themselves.
6-8 Years Old
Our kids jiu-jitsu program for 6 to 8 year olds build their confidence, and teaches them how to stand up for themselves. The emphasis is on the development of fundamental movement and awareness through fun games, cooperative learning and strategic problem solving.

Our kids jiu jitsu program teaches children 9 to 14 years old the tools they need to reduce bullying and social exclusion, develop self-confidence, and help them set and achieve their goals while also providing a fun environment where they learn to exercise.
Parent Testimonials
The staff is incredibly encouraging and inclusive when dealing with children. My 3-year-old son was naturally hesitant to participate at first, but he couldn’t help but be drawn into the friendly and comfortable environment that still espouses the ideals of self discipline and focus.
Rocky Fuoco
My sons have been going here for a couple of years, since they were 3 and 4 years old. Igor and the instructors are respectful men who look you in the eye and have a firm handshake. Real men. The jujitsu is teaching them to be solid people and have strong character, plus the dodgeball game at the end is fun! They absolutely love it and we feel like family.
Mary Marzulli
My son is 6 and has been attending the academy since he was 4. He loves the school. The instructors are super patient and very friendly. Their fundamentals for children is very useful in everyday life. The school is very clean and tons of parking. I highly recommend it for children and adults. I’m hoping I can join soon as well as I’m a big fan of jiu jitsu and martial arts.
