JUNIORS BJJ PROGRAM (AGES 7-9)

DEVELOPING DISCIPLINE & SKILLS THROUGH MARTIAL ARTS TRAINING

The Juniors program builds on fundamental skills while introducing more technical aspects of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Children aged 7-9 develop discipline, respect and problem-solving abilities through structured training at our Perth academy. Our curriculum emphasises anti-bullying strategies, self-confidence and physical fitness, helping children become more focused and resilient both on and off the mats. Classes balance fun activities with progressive technical development.

Why Choose Juniors BJJ

BUILDS CONFIDENCE & SELF-DEFENCE SKILLS
Our Juniors program teaches children practical self-defence techniques in a safe, controlled environment. As they master new skills and overcome challenges, children develop genuine confidence that extends beyond the mats into school and social situations. This confidence is especially valuable during these formative years when peer interactions become increasingly complex.
DEVELOPS DISCIPLINE & FOCUS
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training at West Coast Jiu-Jitsu Perth helps children aged 7-9 develop crucial self-discipline and improved attention skills. Through consistent practice, following instructions and respecting training protocols, children learn valuable lessons in patience and perseverance that directly benefit their academic performance and behaviour at home.
TEACHES EFFECTIVE ANTI-BULLYING STRATEGIES
Our Juniors curriculum includes specific anti-bullying components that teach children how to recognise, avoid and, if necessary, safely handle confrontational situations. These skills give children the confidence to stand up for themselves and others without resorting to aggression, creating more positive social environments.
IMPROVES PHYSICAL FITNESS & COORDINATION
At this crucial developmental stage, our age-appropriate Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training helps children improve strength, flexibility, balance, and overall physical fitness. The varied movements and techniques in our Juniors program develop coordination and body awareness that benefit children in all physical activities and sports.
FOSTERS TEAMWORK & SOCIAL SKILLS
Training at our Osborne Park academy provides children with valuable opportunities to work cooperatively with peers in a structured environment. Through partner drills and supervised training, Juniors develop communication skills, learn to respect others, and build meaningful friendships with like-minded children in their community.
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.

Parents throughout Perth consistently report improvements in their children's focus, behaviour and confidence after joining our Juniors program. Many notice better academic performance as the discipline and attention skills developed in BJJ training transfer to the classroom. Our experienced coaches understand child development and create an environment where each child can progress at their own pace while feeling supported and challenged.

    West Coast Jiu Jitsu has been an incredible experience for my son and me. The coaches are highly skilled, patient, and truly passionate about helping every student improve. Every class is well structured, engaging, and full of positive energy. The academy is clean, welcoming, and provides an outstanding environment to train. Beyond learning great Jiu-Jitsu, we've become part of a supportive community that encourages respect, confidence, and personal growth. We always look forward to every session and genuinely appreciate everything the team does. I highly recommend West Coast Jiu Jitsu to anyone looking for exceptional coaching and an amazing place to train.

    We highly recommend West Coast Jiu Jitsu. My son and my husband both train here, and the environment is absolutely amazing.

    The coaches are professional, patient, and truly care about each student’s development—both on and off the mats. The kids’ classes build confidence, discipline, and respect, while the adult classes are challenging and welcoming at the same time. I am also starting my BJJ journey with them as it really feels like a family. We’re very grateful to be part of this gym!

    WCJJ is such great space! Renan is a fantastic coach, his attention to detail and technique is unmatched. Gabi and Renan have created an amazing community where everyone feels welcomed and appreciated. Both the mixed and female only classes are always very interactive and enjoyable to be in. The recovery facilities are kept immaculate encouraging athletes to take care of their bodies after training, the play room is also equipped with many toys to keep the little ones occupied. I would recommend anyone wanting to learn more Jiu Jitsu skills or even step out of their comfort zone to try a class at WCJJ.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 

ABOUT JUNIORS BJJ

Is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu safe for kids aged 7 to 9?
 Yes. Our Juniors program introduces contact gradually and under close supervision. Coaches teach proper technique and control before any live drilling, so children build skills safely while learning respect for training partners.

Does the Juniors program help with bullying?
Yes, this is one of the biggest reasons Perth parents enrol their kids in our Juniors program. Alongside BJJ technique, we teach practical anti-bullying strategies that build the confidence to de-escalate situations and, when necessary, protect themselves without resorting to aggression.

My child finished Little Champions, is Juniors the right next step?
Absolutely. Juniors (ages 7-9) builds directly on the foundations from our Little Champions program (ages 4-6), introducing more technical positions, transitions and basic submissions at an age-appropriate pace.

What is the Wednesday "Competitors" class? It's an optional extra session for Juniors who want to prepare for BJJ competitions, with more focused technical and live-drilling work. It's not required, most families train on our regular weekly schedule.

Does my child need their own gi (uniform)?
No, not to start. The $199 joining fee includes a WCJJ BJJ gi and belt sized for your child, so they're ready for their first class without buying anything separately.

What if my child has never done a martial art before?
No experience needed. Our Juniors program is designed to welcome complete beginners as well as kids progressing from Little Champions, and our coaches structure each class so every child can progress at their own pace.

How many days a week should my child train BJJ?
Most families start with two classes a week to build consistency without overwhelming their schedule. Juniors who want faster progress, or who are preparing for competition, often move up to our Unlimited membership.
