Kids Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Our Kids BJJ program, for ages 5-13, is designed around instilling self-confidence within all of our students, that can be utilized in all aspects of life.  At CVBJJ Academy we foster an environment built on positive reinforcement, respect, and encouragement.  Within that philosophy, we believe in the importance of teaching kids to overcome adversity, and to remain calm under pressure.  Instilling these virtues into our kids program has allowed us to see so many of our young students transform their lives, becoming more self-assured and motivated.

We offer both Gi and No-Gi training for our students.  Our kids classes include anti-bully self-defense, fitness, and sport style training and technique.  We always start with a warm-up of Jiu-Jitsu based movements, focused on strength and body coordination.  Following  the warm-up we transition right into our focused technique of the month.  We end the class with positional sparring sessions, focusing on the position from class.  Typically, we have our newer students watch this last portion, until they are comfortable and proficient in the basics to participate in live sparring.

We truly believe that Jiu Jitsu offers limitless benefits and can and should be for everyone.  We recognize that new students can feel a sense of apprehension in partaking in something new and different, and we always make sure to welcome our newcomers and give them extra attention, so that they can smoothly transition into the flow of the program.  We welcome students of all experience levels, abilities and capabilities.  Come get your kids out on the mat and watch them thrive!

Kids Competition Program  

Competitions can be a great way to test your skill and knowledge, as well your mental and physical fortitude.  By no means, is it a required aspect of Jiu-Jitsu, however, we do have many kids who choose and have a desire to compete.  

the last Friday of each month, in lieu of our regular class, we host our competition class.  This class allows students to partake in tournament style sparring matches. This can help each child gain very valuable experience in the competition setting.  This includes getting the feel of the different pace, seeing what techniques work well for them, seeing what techniques need improvements, as well familiarizing themselves with the scoring system. Additionally, we will integrate competition training into our regular classes, and encourage all students to try it out, albeit is not required.
