Kids Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu · Ages 5–16
- Classes grouped by age, 5 to 16
- Self-defense and anti-bullying skills
- Taught by Prof. Pedro Elias
- Free private intro lesson, no contracts
Kids learn real Jiu-Jitsu and self-defense, including how to handle a bully. Along the way they build confidence and focus, and make friends on the mat.
What kids learn
Technique first, then practice with a partner. Kids learn how to escape bad positions, how to control someone without striking, and how to stay calm when someone is bigger or pushier than they are.
Stripes and belts give them goals to work toward, and they learn that showing up consistently is what gets them there.
Parents can train too
We have two mats, so many kids classes run at the same time as adult classes. A lot of our parents train while their kids do, and every other month we hold a Kids and Parents class.

Reviews
Hear it from our students and families
“Highly recommend kids BJJ class. The program focuses on BJJ fundamentals and technique but also applies BJJ to life scenarios like bullying or tough situations where defense is needed. Kids are trained in using their voice and confidence before engaging in fights. I really appreciate the attention to detail and discipline Caique gives to their kids program.”
“We love it here! Our son has been a member for a while now and we could not be happier! Positive environment, great for teaching kids focus and discipline, wonderful for self defense and for teaching kids how to deal with bullying. Instructors are kind and helpful. Overall a wonderful experience and I'd recommend Caique to anyone.”
“My family and I have been training at Caique for several years now. The Academy Staff has a vested interest in your growth as a student (both as a person and as a Jiu jitsu practitioner). The learning environment is awesome and the curriculum is very well thought out. I would highly recommended this academy to anyone who wants to learn traditional self defense based jiu jitsu.”
“Awesome kids bully proof class and awesome true gracie jiujitsu classes.”

Is kids Jiu-Jitsu all about fighting?
Sometimes parents think that the martial arts are all about fighting, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Our Kids Jiu-Jitsu program is focused on helping cultivate strong values in our students, giving them the tools they need to enjoy lifelong success.
As a bonus, they'll also learn anti-bullying strategies and the fundamentals of self-defense!
Can parents and kids train at the same school?
Yes. Our academy has two mats, so we try to schedule many classes where parents and kids can train during the same time slot. This makes it convenient for parents to bring their children and train at the same time.
We also periodically offer parent-and-kid classes as special events. As kids get older, they can also eventually join regular classes alongside their parents.
Can I watch a class first?
Yes. You are welcome to come watch a class and see how we run our programs before you begin training.
What should I wear to my first class?
Wear comfortable workout clothes that you can move around in.
