Jiu Jitsu for Kids (AGES 7-14)
At Modern Warrior, our Kids Jiu Jitsu program is designed to teach children valuable life skills while keeping them active and engaged. Through fun and structured classes, your child will learn self-defense, discipline, teamwork, and confidence in a safe and supportive environment.
Building Future Leaders!
Help your child develop unstoppable confidence, laser-like focus, and the skills to stand up to bullies.
No experience necessary!
Our classes teach foundational self-defense, body control, and mental discipline through techniques like positioning (mount, guard, side control), escaping, and controlled grappling. Beyond physical moves, children build confidence, resilience, and problem-solving skills, learning to stay calm under pressure while developing respect, focus, and physical fitness.
Core Physical and Technical Skills
- Positional Awareness & Control: Learning to manage weight and balance, focusing on positions like mount, side control, guard, and turtle.
- Escapes & Defense: Techniques to break free from an opponent's control, such as the shrimp or elbow escape.
- Movement Fundamentals: Developing coordination through breakfalls, hip movement, bridges, and animal crawls (bear, crab, alligator).
- Leverage & Control: Using proper technique rather than raw strength, focusing on controlling the end of a lever (arm/leg) to manage the whole body.
- Safe Takedowns: Learning to bring an opponent to the ground safely, often in a controlled manner.
Core Life Skills and Development
- Confidence & Self-Esteem: Building belief in one's abilities through mastering new techniques and earning belt promotions.
- Discipline & Focus: Training attention span through repetition, following instructions, and respecting coaches and peers.

- Resilience & Emotional Regulation: Learning to handle frustration, manage stress, and persevere through tough positions.
