The program includes Little Dragons classes for ages 3 to 5 that are structured as play sessions to teach Jiu-Jitsu through games. It also includes a Children’s BJJ program for ages 6 to 9 that teaches self-defense, strength, confidence, and respect. Teen BJJ for ages 10 to 14 focuses primarily on a Bully Prevention Program and teaches nearly all of the techniques taught in the Adult Jiu-Jitsu Class, including how to neutralize a bully’s attack and establish control without throwing a punch or a kick.

Smash BJJ states that its kids Jiu-Jitsu classes are geared towards development and bully prevention, and that kids martial arts classes are designed to help children know what to do when they need to stand up to a bully. The program describes its kids classes as a smart, safe, and healthy way to promote personal safety and self-esteem, using a multi-layer approach of physical self-defense, mental and verbal self-defense, and character development. It also states that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is used as a tool to incorporate physical, mental, and verbal self-defense and character development, and that classes are designed to instill confidence so children can overcome bullies without resorting to violence.

Smash BJJ describes itself as Spokane Valley's Premier Jiu Jitsu Academy and offers programs for the whole family, from kids BJJ to boxing. The first class for adults is described as free. The mission statement explains that Smash BJJ aims to set children up for success in many different ways and is proud to serve the community of Spokane Valley by offering kids Jiu-Jitsu classes geared towards development and bully prevention.
