KIDS CLASSES
3-5 YRS
Our 3-5yrs class introduces kids to having fun on the mats with a limited fight-type focus. Students engage in a variety of games focused on developing coordination, promoting the continuation of their natural flexibility, as well as completing primal, animal-type movement patterns. Students begin to realise the core fundamental principles of respect and teamwork in these classes.
5-7YRS
In our classes for kids aged 5 to 7 years, kids are introduced to self-defence technique as well as understanding situations in which it may be applied. Class structure involves understanding technique, as well as participating in a variety of games which are used to instil movement patterns specific to jiu jitsu. A balance of technique and games maintains engagement and promotes a fun and optimal learning experience.

KIDS
NO GI
Training Jiu Jitsu without a GI (the kimono uniform traditionally worn in jiu jitsu) so terms this class; ‘No GI’. Training without a GI differs to regular classes not only in the training attire but in the grips, pace, as well as strategy.
While training in a GI is commonly regarded as more technical, No GI is considered to be a closer imitation of a real-life fight-type scenario. The absence of the traditional attire means training is a closer imitation to such a situation in which jiu jitsu may need to be applied.
No GI classes run for the different age groups and the advanced students.
