Kids Jiu-Jitsu (3–15)
Our kids program teaches confidence, focus and respect through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Children learn real self-defence and anti-bullying skills in a structured, safe and positive environment.
Classes are grouped by age and stage so every child is challenged at the right level. Parents
in Floreat, Wembley and City Beach tell us the difference shows up at home and at school
Beginners welcome any time.
The age groups
3 – 5
Little Diamonds
Ground-level movement, coordination, listening skills and the fundamentals of respect on the mats. Fun first.
6 – 9
Kids
Real Jiu-Jitsu technique starts here — positions, escapes, simple submissions. Still fun, but with more structure.
10 – 12
Juniors
Progressive curriculum with increasing intensity. Kids start live rolling with close supervision and appropriate partners.
13 – 15
Teens
Adult-style training with adult-style accountability. Many teens are already competing at state and national levels.
What parents tell us
More confidence at school. Better focus in class. Calmer at home. Fewer fights (and the skills to walk away from the ones they can’t avoid). Friends on and off the mat. Exercise they actually look forward to.
The SJJA Crows Nest kids team — led by Simon Chandra (2017 World Champion) and our kids coaches — has produced Pan Pacific and Australian champions. But the goal isn’t medals. It’s kids who stand a little taller and handle pressure a little better.
