LITTLE JITSU PROGRAM

Our Little Jitsu Program is specially designed for young children ages 4 to 6. This class introduces kids to the foundations of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu through fun activities that improve balance, coordination, focus, and confidence in a safe and positive environment.
​
At this age, children learn best through games, repetition, and movement. Little Jitsu blends all three while teaching important character skills that help at home and in school.

Why Little Jitsu Is Perfect for Ages 4–6

Builds Coordination & Motor Skills

Children learn basic movements such as rolling, crawling, standing base, balance drills, and safe falling — all essential for athletic development.

Helps Kids Listen, Focus & Follow Instructions

We use simple commands, structured routines, and positive reinforcement to help kids improve attention and cooperation.

Encourages Respect and Good Behavior

Every class reinforces kindness, discipline, and teamwork — values kids use every day.
These skills carry over at home, in school, and with friends.

Fun, Safe, and Engaging
