Kids BJJ
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) isn’t just for adults. In fact, it’s the perfect activity for kids! When it comes to self defense, BJJ empowers a smaller individual to fight against a larger opponent. But the advantages don’t stop there – BJJ helps kids gain confidence, learn discipline, focus their energy, foster respect for others, and be a part of a one-of-a-kind community full of future friends and mentors! Which is why we offer children’s programs for different age ranges and skill levels. At Roll Model Grappling Academy we offer several Kids Jiu-Jitsu Programs:
- Kids BJJ Basics

Kids BJJ
(Ages 6-12)
Most of our kids do not start in the basics program so I don’t want parents to think if they are 8 or 9 they can’t come in and train because they missed that other class age wise.
Our Kids BJJ program at Roll Model Grappling Academy focuses on their understanding of BJJ and takes their game to the next level through a comprehensive and engaging approach. This entails a more profound delve into intricate techniques and strategic maneuvers, enhancing their overall grasp of the art.
