About

Kids Martial Arts introduces children to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu through Kids Martial Arts and BJJ Classes that include both self-defense and sport-style training. The program includes standing and ground-based self-defense skills as part of its Brazilian Jiu Jitsu focus. Kids of all experience levels are invited to join and take part in high-energy classes that are always changing, with scalable exercises and a proven progression system.

• Ages: 5–12 years old

The Kids Martial Arts Classes focus primarily on Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and include self-defense along with coordination and strength-building activities. According to the program’s mission statement, Kids Martial Arts Classes at URSA Academy help students of all ages and backgrounds build themselves up through accomplishment and achievement. The program description states that children in these classes work on character traits like respect, discipline, perseverance, teamwork, and leadership, and that they can gain self-defense skills, self-confidence, self-respect, and habits of physical activity, along with strength, coordination, speed, agility, dexterity, and hand-eye coordination.

One parent, Lillian C., reports that her daughter has attended Kids Martial Arts classes for 6 months and that her husband has trained at the academy for 6 years, and she describes the environment as welcoming and supportive, with instructors who are engaged, encouraging, and invested in their students. Other students and parents, including James C., Esther G., Jonathan W., Jake O., and Benjamin M., describe the instruction as excellent, the atmosphere as welcoming and motivating, and the community as friendly, respectful, and focused on learning and improving technique.
