Kids Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (3–15)
Our kids BJJ program in Lane Cove teaches confidence, focus and respect, with real selfdefence
and anti-bullying skills in a safe, positive environment. Classes are grouped by age
and stage so every child is challenged at the right level.
North Shore parents choose kids martial arts in Lane Cove because 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.
