Kids Programme

What are our kids programme's and how are they structured?

Kids BullyProof

Our Kids BullyProof programme is designed as an introductory programme to BJJ for kids. It is fun, keeps kids fit and gives them confidence through learning how to grapple.

Kids learn the basics of BJJ using grappling specific games and sparring. This allows them to learn how to control and counter opponents using BJJ techniques.

Each half of term we focus on one of the 4 main areas of grappling skills:

• Standing to ground
• Guard and Guard passing
• Top pinning and submissions
• Escaping

It is a 1-2x a week programme that can take a child from a white belt to the Grey/White Belt over 4-5 school terms. Attendance of 1x a week for 80% of the school term is required for grading.

 BullyProof class is a single age group of 5-10 year olds

Kids 11 and up should enter our BJJ programme.

Our BullyProof programme is taught NoGi as it fosters good basic principles of grappling control and saves you money on Gi’s as they grow out of them so fast!

Kids BJJ

Our Kids BJJ programme is a step up from our BullyProof programme. It is designed for kids who want to do BJJ as part of their sporting curriculum. Completion of our BullyProof programme is not required to join this class however.

We teach BJJ as a mixture of BJJ related games and grappling sparring. Kids have lots of time on task and wrestling each other leading to fast improvements in skill and boat loads of fun!

Each half of term we focus on two of the 4 main areas of grappling skills:

• Standing to ground

• Guard and Guard passing

• Top pinning and submissions 

• Escaping

We have 3 kids age groups:

• Tiny Worms for 5-7 year olds
• Youth Panthers for 8-10 year olds
• Teen Lions for 11-15 year olds

Attendance of at least 2x per week and 80% per term is required to be eligible for grading. That equates to 16 sessions over the 10 week school term.

Our Tiny Worms and Youth Panthers programme curriculum is NoGi as it fosters good basic principles of grappling control and saves you money on Gi’s as they grow out of them so fast!

Our Teen Lions programme is 50/50 Gi and NoGi.
