2 Separate Programs To Better Suit Your Child’s Needs

At DM Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy, we understand that children have unique learning needs based on their age and development. To ensure every young martial artist thrives, we offer two tailored programs: one designed specifically for small kids and another for bigger kids. Each program focuses on age-appropriate techniques, values, and skills, fostering confidence and discipline in a supportive environment. Here’s a closer look at how each program caters to its specific age group.

Unlock your child's potential with DM Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu! Discover how our Jiu-Jitsu classes can boost their confidence, discipline, focus, and social skills!

Our Little Spartans program is designed for kids ages 5-10, focusing on essential self-defense and verbal confrontation avoidance techniques. Children learn to follow commands promptly and express themselves verbally, not physically. Through engaging in-class discussions, they gain awareness about bullies, strangers, health, and exercise.

Each class includes a dynamic warm-up, solo-drills, partner techniques, and fun games. Solo-drills enhance coordination and help children master movements used in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Partner techniques teach kids to apply BJJ skills in a controlled environment, practicing with teammates or coaches. Our specially designed games reinforce these techniques, promoting learning through play, while improving coordination and reflexes.

What sets our Little Spartans apart is the personalized attention—our classes feature 3-4 skilled coaches on the mat, ensuring each child receives the support they need. This helps maximize learning, motivation, and discipline, creating a safe and encouraging environment for every student.

Empowering Teens: Self-Defense and Life Skills in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Bullying is particularly common among kids ages 10-16, which is why our Spartan Kids Program emphasizes essential self-defense techniques. Our curriculum helps students learn to defend themselves in various situations, including effective confrontation-avoidance dialogues. Class discussions focus on understanding bullying and developing strategies to handle challenging encounters.

In the Spartan Kids Program, students begin sparring regularly after mastering key techniques. Sparring is a vital component of their training, as it enhances reflexes and simulates real-life self-defense scenarios. Children who commit to a steady training schedule are encouraged to participate in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competitions, allowing them to showcase their skills and boost their confidence.

Building Character and Confidence Through Fun

The DMBJJ Spartan Kids Program instills important values such as courage, self-control, respect, and discipline, all while ensuring a fun learning environment! Our program also improves concentration, coordination, and fitness levels, alongside essential listening and motor skills. These capabilities empower children to approach life with greater confidence and enthusiasm.

Our instructors focus on eight core skills for students aged 10-16: focus, teamwork, control, balance, memory, discipline, fitness, and coordination. Each class incorporates activities that target these skills, providing an enjoyable and educational experience. Training takes place in a safe and supervised environment, ensuring that every child feels supported.

With a proven track record of five-star reviews from DMBJJ parents, our instructors and training methods deliver exceptional results.

Investing in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a valuable educational gift for your teen, providing them with lifelong skills and resilience.
