03 / KIDS PROGRAMME
Grow strong. Move well. Act kindly.
Jiu Jitsu can teach much more than how to grapple.
Our Kids programme uses movement, games, technique and age-appropriate challenges to help children develop coordination, confidence, resilience and respect, while discovering how much fun it is to learn what their bodies can do.
The programme grows with them.
TINY PARTICLES
3–5 YEARS · 45 MIN.
Move. Play. Discover.
At this age, Jiu Jitsu starts with movement and play.
Children learn to roll, balance, fall safely, work with a partner, listen, take turns and become comfortable using their bodies in new ways. Classes are playful, structured and designed around short attention spans and lots of movement.
The goal isn’t to create tiny competitors.
It’s to build confidence, coordination and a positive relationship with movement.
LITTLE PARTICLES
6–10 YEARS · 50 MIN.
Learn. Explore. Grow.
As children get older, play gradually becomes practice.
Students begin learning the fundamental positions and techniques of Jiu Jitsu while continuing to develop coordination, body awareness and problem-solving skills. Partner exercises and controlled resistance teach them how to stay calm, try again and find solutions when something doesn’t work immediately.
We want children to become capable without becoming careless, competitive without losing kindness, and confident without needing to prove it.
POWER PARTICLES
11–14 YEARS · 55 MIN.
Challenge yourself. Find your game.
For teenagers, training begins to resemble adult Jiu Jitsu while remaining appropriate for their age and development.
Technical training, positional resistance and sparring give students the opportunity to test themselves honestly. They learn how to deal with pressure, how to work through difficult situations and how to take responsibility for both their own training and their training partners.
Strength matters.
So do control, character and knowing when not to use it.
Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Particles
14–16 YEARS · 90 MIN. · NO-GI · INVITE ONLY
Your transition to adult training.
This class helps teenagers transition to adult training and introduces them to No-Gi.
Here, you train with other teenagers. You can explore, challenge each other and make progress together. We take differences in size, strength and development into account to create suitable training partnerships and challenges.
The training already follows the approach of adult classes, but is tailored specifically to teenagers. Technique, more intensive sparring and independent learning take centre stage, preparing them step by step for regular adult training.
Tuesday · 18:00–19:30 · alongside the adult No-Gi Essentials class.
The ages are a guide. Depending on experience, physical development and training progress, moving to the next group earlier or later may be appropriate. Group placement is agreed with parents and coaches. Adult training generally starts at age 15. Participation at age 14 or 15 requires approval from the coaches.
CHILD SAFEGUARDING
Safeguarding is essential in sport. Particularly in Jiu Jitsu, where physical contact is part of training, children’s safety, personal boundaries and trust come first. Children can say no, take breaks and be heard.
