In this exciting class, we introduce kids (ages 6 to 12 years old) to the popular and proven effective submission grappling art and combat sport of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu (BJJ). In addition, we use the format of this class to introduce the students to BJJ Tournament rules and train them for participation in the many tournaments and competitions that have been made available in our area.
Taught by our school founder and head instructor Damien Wright (an experienced competitor, competition coach, and BJJ Purple Belt), and assisted by several of our top adult and teen BJJ competitors, this class is included in our Upper Grade School Youth Jujitsu/MMA program.
With skill sets gained from participation in both programs, students become well prepared to apply effective takedowns and counters as well as execute effective ground dominance and apply safe submissions in the competition setting as well as in self-defense. This class is also lots of fun and full of awesome energy!
