Looking for a martial art that builds incredible confidence, problem-solving skills, and practical self-defence for your child? At Northern Karate, our Kids Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) program offers a unique and empowering journey that focuses on leverage, technique, and smart strategy, rather than relying solely on size or strength.
Our age-specific BJJ classes provide a fun, safe, and structured environment where children learn valuable life lessons while building a strong foundation for physical and mental well-being.
Mastering the Art of Leverage: Smart Self-defence for Every Child keyboard_arrow_down
Unlike striking-based martial arts, BJJ emphasizes grappling and ground fighting. This provides significant advantages for children by teaching them how to stay calm and take control.
- Neutralize Larger Opponents: BJJ focuses on using leverage and body mechanics to control and submit opponents, making it highly effective regardless of size or strength differences.
- Develop Practical Self-defence Skills: Children learn realistic techniques to defend themselves against grabs, holds, and takedowns, empowering them in real-world scenarios.
- Gain Confidence in Close-contact Situations: Through controlled sparring (rolling), children become comfortable and confident in close physical interactions.
- Learn Conflict Resolution Skills: BJJ emphasizes control and de-escalation, teaching children how to manage conflict in a non-violent manner.
