Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Kids

Wickhams Martial Arts Centre is excited to promote the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Kids program, catering to boys and girls aged 5–13 years old. This program sets itself apart by focusing solely on defensive techniques, with no strikes involved. Our aim is to teach children how to defend themselves and neutralise threats without resorting to punches, kicks, or any other form of striking.

In addition to equipping children with essential self-defence skills, our program also instils character traits that contribute to success in all areas of life. Each class is supervised by an adult and takes place in a friendly and safe environment. We structure each session to include warm-ups, BJJ-oriented movement drills, technique demonstrations, practice with partners, and active practice. Our ultimate goal is to create a positive learning atmosphere where each child can boost their confidence and have an enjoyable time.

Why should kids learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, you may ask? Well, it is a non-violent yet highly effective self-defence system that empowers smaller opponents through leverage and submission techniques. By learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, children gain confidence in their ability to defend themselves against bullies or unwanted strangers. In our classes, we place a strong emphasis on principles such as action-reaction, leverage, and base. This helps children develop body awareness, coordination, and inner discipline.

Moreover, the constant partner work in our program allows children to experience the practical application of moves and anticipate their opponent's movements. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu not only imparts effective self-defence skills but also enhances kinaesthetic abilities that can be applied to other sports. It's a comprehensive martial art that offers numerous benefits beyond the realm of self-defence.

We invite you to join our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Kids program and provide your child with the skills and confidence they need to navigate life's challenges. Give them the opportunity to become proficient in a non-violent yet powerful martial art, while also developing valuable character traits and enjoying a fun-filled activity. Reserve your spot now and let Wickhams Martial Arts Centre shape your child's journey towards personal growth and self-empowerment.
