KIDS PROGRAM

BULLY PROOF YOUR KIDS!

Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is the offical hand to hand combat system of the United States Military and law enforcement agencies all around the country. Founded on easy and instinctual movements this reality based fighting system will enable your child to control and subdue a larger opponent, causing them to submit. This gives your child the opportunity to end the fight in the most humane way possible.

These days more than ever, social pressures seek to negatively influence your child in ways that are antithetical to their development.  Whether it be through peer pressure, bullying, or popularity, the pressures to conform are strong. At The Training Grounds we view the development of respect, self-discipline, teamwork, responsibility, and self-confidence as paramount in each and every child.   Our program is designed to not only teach kids how to defend themselves, but also how to intelligently cope with bullying and peer pressure. 

What your child will learn:

Your child will learn a combination of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and Self -Defense through drills, skill oriented games, and positional training.  As they reach their goals at the academy they will develop a sense of confidence that will translate to every area of their life.  Our mission is to foster respect, discipline and confidence through the teaching of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, Self-Defense and Kickboxing for each and every child.  Schedule a free intro lesson for your child here.
