Classes are for both boys and girls from age 5 to 13 (14 and up can attend the adult class) on Monday and Wednesday from 6-7 PM and on Saturday from 10-11 AM. Children are welcome to attend all open mats and special event rolls with a parent present (the parent does not have to train). Older children may also be able to attend our Wrestling Takedown and Yoga classes depending on their size and maturity (subject to coach approval).

We have free loaner Gis for kids of most sizes and offer a free two-week trial to make sure Brazilian Jiu Jitu is right for your child. Shorts and a T-shirt are good for NoGi classes.
