Young Swords
This is where kids fall in love with the sport. Ages 5 to 8 learn genuine jiu jitsu technique alongside the lessons that matter most: how to focus, how to lose and try again, and how to stand up for themselves and others.
It’s structured and challenging, but never harsh. Coaches know every kid by name, and parents consistently tell us the discipline shows up at home and at school.
What You'll Gain
Focus & Discipline
Structured classes teach kids to listen, commit, and finish what they start.
Anti-Bullying Confidence
Kids who know they can handle themselves rarely need to. Calm confidence, not aggression.
Real Friendships
The mat builds teammates. Many of our kids’ closest friendships start here.
Technique That Grows
A clear curriculum means steady progress and belt milestones they’re proud of.
Exactly What To Expect
Arrive 10 minutes early to meet the coach and borrow a gi.
Group warm-up games to shake off nerves.
Learn a real technique, broken down kid-simple.
Positional games with teammates, and plenty of encouragement.
Ages 5–8, from the very shy to the very energetic. No experience needed, just comfortable clothes and a willingness to try. Placement may shift slightly depending on a child’s height and weight, so we put every kid where they’ll train safely.
Young Swords meets on weekday afternoons. Check the weekly schedule for exact class times.
“Tough and fun in the best way. The growth I’ve seen in my kid over five months has been incredible.”
Good To Know
My child has a lot of energy. Will this help?
It’s ideal. Jiu jitsu channels big energy into focus and skill, and they sleep great afterward.
Is there any striking?
No. Kids’ jiu jitsu is grappling only, built around control and respect. No punching or kicking.
What if my child is nervous?
Completely normal. Coaches ease first-timers in, and teammates are quick to make them feel at home.
