Questions parents ask

Is jiu-jitsu safe for kids?

Yes. Kids train with others in their age group, coached by certified, background-checked instructors. They learn control first, and they can tap to stop at any time.

What if my child is shy?

That's common. Kids warm up through games and partner drills, and you're welcome to stay and watch.

Does it help with bullying?

Jiu-jitsu teaches kids to stay calm and control a situation without striking, and the confidence they build carries over to school.

What age can my child start?

Our youngest class starts at age 4.

Can I watch?

Yes. Parents are always welcome to watch their kids' classes.

What should they wear to the free class?

Comfortable workout clothes. We'll get them set up when you arrive.

How much does membership cost?

We have a few plan options. Our most popular plan is $199 a month, and family discounts are available. Uniforms are sold separately. There's no registration fee, and your first class is free.

Is there a contract?

No long-term contract required. Memberships are month-to-month, with no registration fee.
