Kids 5–12
Kids Programs
BJJ, Muay Thai and wrestling classes for children aged 5–12 — short, structured and active, with technique taught through drills and games.
The discipline
What Kids involves
Kids classes run in three martial arts: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai and wrestling. Sessions are shorter than adult classes, and technique is taught through drills and games so children stay engaged.
Every class has clear rules. Children learn to listen, take turns, train safely with a partner, and keep trying when something is difficult.
Who the class suits
- Children trying a martial art for the first time
- Active kids who need somewhere to put their energy
- Quieter kids who'd benefit from a structured group
- Families looking for an after-school activity in the Inner West
