PARTENTS INFO - What You Need to Know

We know starting a new activity can raise lots of questions, especially for first-time martial arts families. Here's everything you need to know about getting your child started with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at Bayside BJJ.

✅ What Ages Do You Accept?

We welcome children aged 4 and above. At this stage, we’re unable to accommodate children under 4 due to the physical and attention-based demands of the class.

🥋 What Does My Child Need to Bring?

For the first (free trial) class, just bring:

A water bottle.
Comfortable activewear (if you don’t have a uniform yet).

We will lend your child a Gi (uniform) for the free trial. If they decide to join, we have gis of all sizes available for purchase.

📆 How Often Should My Child Train?

Most kids start with 1–2 classes per week, depending on their age and interest level. As they grow in confidence and skill, many progress to training more frequently - especially if they join our Unlimited Kids Membership.

💸 How Much Does It Cost?

We offer flexible, term-based memberships for kids:

1 class per week: $250 per school term.
Unlimited classes: $320 per school term.

You can also view all pricing here.

🧘‍♂️ What Will My Child Learn?

Our program teaches:

Confidence, discipline, and teamwork.
How to stay calm under pressure.
Physical fitness and coordination.
Real-world self-defence - without striking.
Respect for coaches, training partners and themselves.

🛡️ Is It Safe?

Absolutely. Safety is our number one priority.

All instructors are experienced and work well with children.
Classes are structured, supervised, and taught with safety in mind.
Kids are taught to control their movements and train with care.

⏰ Can I Watch the Class?

Yes - parents are welcome to stay and watch. We have a large seating area next to the training area where you can observe and get a feel for the club atmosphere. We also have an upstairs games room with billiards, table-tennis and digital entertainment - which you are free to use if you prefer.

🎓How Are Classes Grouped?
Classes are grouped by age and experience level to ensure kids are learning at the right pace:

Ages 4 - 8: Sessions focused on movement, balance, coordination, and foundational BJJ techniques in a playful, structured format and supervised live grappling to help students apply what they've learned.
Ages 9 - 15: More advanced classes that include technical instruction, drills, and supervised live grappling to help students apply what they've learned.

All kids’ classes include partner-based grappling practice as an important and safe part of their development. We also run mixed-age sessions, which are great for families with siblings of different ages all training together.

📍 Where Are You Located?

We’re based at:
6 Bond Street, Mordialloc VIC 3195

Easy access by car with convenient nearby parking.

We regularly welcome students from Mentone, Parkdale, Aspendale, Chelsea, Cheltenham, Beaumaris, Highett, Moorabbin, Braeside and other nearby suburbs.
