Kids Jiu-Jitsu
At EDJ School of Jiu-Jitsu, our Kids Program is built on structure, progression, and purpose. We offer engaging classes for children ages 3 to 13, organized by age and skill level so every student learns at the right pace while developing strong fundamentals. Through training, students build coordination, confidence, discipline, and real self-defense skills in a safe and positive environment. Beyond technique, we emphasize character – teaching respect, focus, teamwork, and perseverance both on and off the mat.
Our goal is simple: to help every child grow into a confident, disciplined leader through Jiu-Jitsu.
Build Confidence Through
Kids Jiu-Jitsu
Tiny Ninjas (ages 3-4)
Our Tiny Ninjas program is the perfect introduction to Jiu-Jitsu for our youngest students. At this stage, the focus is not on complex techniques, but on building a foundation for movement, attention, and behavior. Through fun games and guided exercises, children develop coordination, balance, and basic motor skills while learning simple Jiu-Jitsu movements. We also incorporate “listening exercises” to strengthen focus, attention, and the ability to follow instructions.
Most importantly, we begin teaching essential life skills such as respect, teamwork, and classroom structure in a positive, supportive environment. Our goal is to help each child build confidence, enjoy the process, and develop a love for training from an early age.
Little Ninjas (ages 5-8)
In the Little Ninjas program, students begin building a strong foundation in Jiu-Jitsu. At this stage, children refine their movements and learn how to apply techniques through structured drills and controlled sparring. We introduce core fundamentals step by step, helping students improve coordination, balance, and overall athletic ability. Classes emphasize focus, discipline, and respect, while also encouraging confidence and communication.
Students are gradually introduced to live training in a safe, supervised environment, where they begin to understand timing, positioning, and basic strategy. We also introduce basic competition concepts to help them think, adapt, and start developing their own style. This is a critical stage where students not only learn Jiu-Jitsu, but also begin to understand how to use it.
Junior Ninjas (ages 9-13)
The Junior Ninjas program is designed to help students take the next step, both technically and mentally. We focus on refining technique, improving sparring performance, and building composure under pressure. Students learn a broader range of techniques and more advanced concepts, all grounded in our core curriculum. We place a strong emphasis on discipline, focus, and emotional control so students can stay calm, think clearly, and perform with confidence.
This program also builds leadership, communication, and accountability, important qualities on and off the mats. Whether students are training for competition or personal growth, they are challenged in a structured, supportive environment that sets them up for long-term success and a smooth transition into adult training.
Advanced Kids/Competition Team (ages 8-13)
This program is for students who are ready to take their training to the next level. Classes are more intense and focused on competition preparation, advanced drilling, and live sparring. Students learn strategy, pacing, and how to perform under pressure, while continuing to refine their technique. Along with physical development, we emphasize leadership, accountability, and representing the team with the right mindset.
Instructor approval required.
