FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
ABOUT LITTLE CHAMPIONS PROGRAM
Yes, our Little Champions program is specifically designed with safety as the top priority. All techniques are age‑appropriate, non‑violent, and taught in a controlled, supervised environment. Our coaches are trained in early childhood development and maintain a safe, supportive space for all activities.
Does my child need any previous experience or special skills?
No previous experience is required! Our Little Champions program is designed as an introduction to Brazilian Jiu‑Jitsu for children aged 4–6. We start with the very basics and progress at a pace that matches each child’s individual development.
What should my child wear to their first class?
For their first class, comfortable athletic clothing such as a t‑shirt and shorts or leggings (with no pockets) is perfect. If your child continues with the program, they’ll receive a proper BJJ uniform (gi) that’s sized appropriately for preschoolers.
How is the Little Champions program different from other kids' martial arts classes?
Our Little Champions program is specifically designed for the developmental needs of 4–6 year olds, based on official WCJJ BJJ curriculum. This structured program ensures every child builds a strong foundation in essential movements, positions, and beginner techniques. We focus on age‑appropriate skills, shorter class times (30 minutes), and a play‑based approach that keeps young children engaged while building fundamental movement patterns.
Can parents stay and watch the classes?
Beginning January 2026, parents are no longer permitted to stay near the mats during kids classes. This change helps improve focus, class quality, and your child’s overall progress. Parents are still welcome to watch every class in real time through our live camera feed, available on the cafeteria and kids area televisions. You’re also welcome to relax in the cafeteria during class while have a FREE hot cooffee or tea on us.
