Big kids 10-13

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is considered the most efficient martial art for self-defence as the techniques utilise leverage over strength which allows a smaller person to manage a bigger opponent, using timing, momentum and leverage.

Seeing first hand how Jiu-Jitsu empowers kids with the confidence and helps them to deal with everyday life, using the skills they have learned is one of the greatest things to witness.

Kids Grading System

Our unique Kids Grading system is designed to help our students learn Brazilian Jiujitsu with a strong focus on personal development such as confidence, discipline, respect (for themselves and others) and cognitive and mind development along the journey.

Our coaches are trained to track students’ progress in 4 areas - Persistence, Focus, Teamwork and Leadership. These essential Life Skills are beneficial and easily transferable off the mats for their future self.

Students will be granted coloured stripes when coaches identify development in these areas.

For this age group, our classes are more focused on developing jiujitsu techniques, drills and anti-bullying mindset.

  • The 10-13 Yo group classes have a 50 minutes duration, in this class group the kids have a better ability to focus and learn complex movements and techniques.

    Our coaches in this class will request better focus and application of students during tasks and we will encourage them to ask more specific questions about BJJ so they can engage and actively participate more in class. Often times kids at this age group will be asked to demonstrate techniques in front of the group and help the less experienced kids.

  • It's very important for big kids and young teenagers to stay involved in a positive sport, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu will help them develop confidence, social skills, stress relief, humility and problem solving skills while keeping them physically active in a challenging but very rewarding sport.

  • This is the age group where kids will look up to mentors outside of the family circle and they can find excellent role models at our gym, in a family friendly environment our head coaches are athletes, parents and always willing to support their students as they face life challenging events.
