Youth Programs

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a social & exciting workout that helps improve the physical and mental health of ALL ages of children.

Our Tiny Squids program (for ages 3-6) provides fun exercise for children to develop body coordination and overall personal growth. The benefits of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu go above and beyond any other martial art, because of its practical application to real-life situations – like focus, self-control, and communication skills.

Although this age group does learn important Jiu Jitsu skills, our most important focus is the Fun, Growth, and Development (both physically and mentally) of your child!

Our Grapplocts Youth program (for ages 9-12) provides an environment that allows youth to experience and understand core values of Jiu Jitsu such as focus, discipline, persistence, cooperation, and respect. This age group begins to learn more about the sport and techniques of Jiu Jitsu — but while maintaining a focus on social interaction and personal skill development.

This Jiu Jitsu program provides an exciting, challenging, yet safe and caring environment for your child to mature within. These are the types of interactions and environments that will push your child towards real-life success. The youth practice of Jiu Jitsu benefits the individual both on and off the mats for their entire life. The discipline and excellence demanded by our instructors, and their peers often carry over to the child’s behavior at home and at school.

The Kraken Teen Jiu Jitsu program ( for ages 13-17) focuses on developing our teenage students who have aged out of the Grapplocts youth program, or who are just now beginning their martial arts journey. Students will focus on the 36 Jiu Jitsu principles, concepts, and core techniques of basic self-defense practices taught in our adult Combatives and fundamentals courses in a co-ed setting of their peers. In addition to practicing the physical techniques of Jiu Jitsu, this age group will also focus on developing  healthy habits, goal setting, and confidence while maturing in respect, humility, and friendship.
