About

Oregon Grappling Arts Kids’ Martial Arts offers Brazilian jiu jitsu classes for youth, including kids’ martial arts in both gi and no gi formats. The program includes separate classes for kids ages 5–8 and 9+ in gi, a kids 5+ no gi competition class by instructor invitation, and two no gi groups for kids ages 3–4. Classes take place alongside additional offerings at the academy such as women’s jiu jitsu, women’s all-levels no gi, adult BJJ, and multiple adult gi and no gi classes at different levels.

• Ages: 3–18 years old
• Schedule: Youth classes are offered on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, with options in the late afternoon and evening on weekdays and in the morning on weekends.
• Price: Out-of-town or vacationing youth visitors who currently train at a BJJ gym may attend for a drop-in fee of $30 per day; all memberships are month-to-month with no contract, no commitment, and no activation or initiation fees.

Every class on the schedule is taught by a black belt with extensive competition experience, an upper-belt IBJJF No Gi World Championship gold medal at the adult or master 1 level, and years of experience working with adult and youth students. Oregon Grappling Arts states that its mission is to provide students with the highest level of jiu jitsu instruction in a safe and friendly community. The instructors, including Hannah Sharp, Eddie Jamrog, and Courtney Block, are described as some of the most accomplished no gi Brazilian jiu jitsu competitors in the Portland area, with championships and podium finishes in nearly all competitive rulesets. The academy notes that it does not assign youth or beginner adult classes to lower belts, that it offers a three-day free trial for prospective students ages 5+ considering a membership, and that prospective members ages 3–4 may attend one free trial class before enrolling. Oregon Grappling Arts also offers a family discount for family members with active memberships at the same time and a 10% discount on memberships for active community college, university, and professional school students.
