Kids Jiu-Jitsu · Classes by age

Ages 4 to 16

Which class is right for your child?

Kids train with their own age group, so a 5-year-old is never paired with a 12-year-old. Here's what each group works on and when it meets.

Not sure which one?

Go by age. If your child is right on the line between two groups, book the younger one for the free class and the coach will tell you after class if they'd do better in the older group.

Brothers and sisters in different age groups can come on the same day. Little Lions ends just before Young Lions starts, so one trip covers both.

Still not sure? Leave your name and number on the kids page and a coach will text you to help you pick.
