Brú Kids Program
Engaging in physical activity has many benefits for developing children.
- Improved strength, coordination, mobility and aerobic fitness
- Improved confidence & self efficacy achieved by learning new skills
- Improved attention and memory
- Long term benefits such as: Improved bone strength, developing heathy habits to bring into adulthood, reducing risk of developing chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes in later life.
Our kids program is designed to be challenging and engaging for students.
In learning to grapple they will learn to face challenges and solve problems and most importantly have fun!
Class Structure
Kids Gi & NoGi ( Ages 7-13 )
In both we focus building fundamental skills of Jiu Jitsu.
Each class consists of:
- Movement based warm up: Grappling specific movement skill drills to help develop coordination and prepare for training.
- Grappling bases games: These are activities which will put them in grappling situations with simple goals & problems to solve. These are fun games to start to get them moving & engaging with their training partners.
- Learning Fundamental Techniques: They will learn and practice techniques and build sequences across the fundamental positions within Jiu Jitsu.
- Positional sparring / Live rolling: This is the chance to apply what they're learning in more realistic scenarios under the supervision of the coaches.
Teens NoGi ( Ages 11-15)
This is a beginner friendly NoGi class for slightly older kids to work on the fundamentals of grappling together.
This class begins to bridge the gap between the kids and adults program.
