BAYSIDE BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU
KIDS BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU
🧒 Kids Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (Ages 4 to 15)
At Bayside BJJ, we believe every child should be involved in a developmental activity from a young age - whether it’s martial arts, gymnastics, or dance. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) stands out not only as a fun and engaging activity, but also as one of the most effective martial arts for building real-world self-defence skills, discipline and confidence.
✅ Age Policy
We accept children aged 4 and up into our Kids BJJ programs.
👉 Unfortunately, we are not currently able to accommodate children under 4.
💥 Fun, Safe & Structured Learning
Our main focus is making Jiu-Jitsu fun and rewarding for kids. We create an environment where students:
-
Build confidence and self-discipline.
-
Learn mutual respect and teamwork.
-
Are supported by experienced, friendly instructors.
-
Feel safe, included and motivated to grow.
We use a relaxed and encouraging teaching style that helps children thrive, while gently guiding them toward mental and physical strength through structured training.
🥋 What If My Child Doesn’t Have a Gi?
No problem!
If your child is attending their first class as a free trial, we can lend them a Gi (uniform) so they can participate comfortably. We’ll also guide you on what to purchase if you decide to continue training.
🧠 More Than Martial Arts
BJJ is a powerful tool for character development. While it can take years to master (our head instructor took over 13 years to earn a black belt), the journey helps kids learn:
-
The value of hard work.
-
Mental resilience.
-
How to handle pressure.
-
A "never give up" mindset.
🤝 Self-Defence Without Striking
With bullying still common in schools, BJJ empowers children with real-world self-defence skills focused on control, leverage, and technique - not striking. This allows your child to defend themselves effectively while reducing the risk of escalating conflict.
🆓 Try a Free Class
We invite you to book a free trial to see if BJJ is the right fit for your child.
✅ Just arrive 10 minutes early to any of our scheduled kids classes, and we’ll help get your child fitted with a spare Gi and introduced to the class.
