Our Kids Self-Defense programs are for students 5 to 13 years old and focuses on making self-defense and physical education fun. In this program we will teach your child how to use verbal assertiveness to discourage bullies and the basic non-violent Jiu-Jitsu self-defense techniques to stay safe if physically assaulted. Importantly, we don’t teach how to punch or kick, since this often does more harm than good. Instead, we use leverage-based control holds to neutralize threats without violence. In addition to our self-defense program, we also teach your kids our Powerful Words program where kids learn valuable life skills such as respect, discipline, courtesy, confidence, focus, discipline, team work, mental strength, and self-control. A child needs absolutely no experience to start, and we guarantee a noticeable increase in your child’s confidence and skill within a few weeks!
