7-9 YEARS PROGRAM

ABOUT OUR JUNIORS BJJ PROGRAM

The West Coast Jiu-Jitsu Juniors program is specifically designed for children aged 7-9 years, building on the foundational skills introduced in our Little Champs program while adding more technical Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu concepts appropriate for this developmental stage.

Our curriculum balances fun with structured learning, introducing children to fundamental BJJ positions, transitions, and basic submissions in a safe, controlled manner. Juniors learn to apply concepts like leverage, timing, and technique over strength—valuable lessons that extend beyond martial arts into everyday life challenges.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 

ABOUT LITTLE CHAMPIONS BJJ

Is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu safe for children as young as 4 years old?
Yes, our Little Champions program is specifically designed with safety as the top priority. All techniques are age-appropriate, non-violent, and taught in a controlled, supervised environment. Our coaches are trained in early childhood development and maintain a safe space for all activities.

Does my child need any previous experience or special skills?
No previous experience is required! Our Little Champions program is designed as an introduction to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for children aged 4-6. We start with the very basics and progress at a pace that's appropriate for each child's development.

What should my child wear to their first class?
For their first class, comfortable athletic clothing like a t-shirt and shorts or leggings is perfect, with no pockets. If your child continues with the program, they'll receive a proper BJJ uniform (gi) that's sized appropriately for preschoolers.

How is the Little Champions program different from other kids' martial arts classes? Our Little Champions program is specifically designed for the developmental needs of 4-6 year olds, unlike many martial arts programs that simply scale down adult techniques. We focus on age-appropriate skills, shorter class times (30 minutes), and a play-based approach that keeps young children engaged while building fundamental movement patterns.

Can parents stay and watch the classes?
Absolutely! Parents are welcome to stay and watch their child's Little Champions BJJ class from anywhere in the academy—thanks to glass-panelled training areas visible from our cozy cafeteria (with free coffee!) or the kids' corner where siblings can play.
