KIDS AT GRIP JIU-JITSU TEAM

---

Everyone talks about self-discipline, self-control, self-confidence — but how do you truly give that to a child?

At Grip Jiu-Jitsu Team, we believe the answer lies in helping kids discover these qualities from within. Through positive reinforcement, clear goals, respect, and consistent effort, we guide each student to build these skills for themselves. We take this mission seriously and walk alongside your child every step of the way.

Self-confidence, for example, isn’t something we can “give” — it can’t be talked or tricked into a child by simply tying a belt around their waist. It’s earned through experience, effort, and achievement. Our job is to provide the environment, mentorship, and structure that help them find it inside themselves.

There are many martial arts to choose from, and it can be hard to know which one is best for your child. Here’s why Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is one of the safest and most effective options for kids:

• Safe & Effective Self-Defense – BJJ is a non-violent yet complete self-defense system. Kids learn how to stay safe from bullies or unwanted strangers, using leverage and technique rather than kicks or punches.
• Leverage & Balance – BJJ teaches children to use an opponent’s energy instead of fighting against it. They develop body awareness, balance, and coordination that benefit them in Jiu-Jitsu, school, and other sports.
• Confidence & Character – As they master techniques and progress through the belt system, kids naturally build confidence, resilience, and focus.

• Self-Defense: Practical skills to protect themselves while learning to avoid unnecessary conflict.
• Fitness: Training builds strength, stamina, and overall health — physically and mentally.
• Balance & Motor Skills: Our program improves posture, flexibility, and hand-eye coordination.
• Self-Confidence: Measurable goals, belts, and milestones keep kids motivated and proud of their progress.
• Self-Discipline: Students learn focus, respect, and accountability — qualities that extend beyond the mats into home, school, and friendships.
• Respect & Teamwork: We teach children to treat others as they want to be treated, while encouraging a spirit of loyalty, positive interaction, and anti-bullying awareness.
• Fun & Joy: We never forget they’re kids! Our classes include games and challenges designed to make learning exciting and enjoyable.

With academies in the U.S., Brazil, Israel, and beyond, Grip Jiu-Jitsu Team is one of the fastest-growing names in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. We offer a safe, structured, and inspiring environment where children can grow into confident, disciplined, and respectful young people.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art focused largely on grappling and ground fighting. It relies on leverage and precise technique to establish dominant control on the ground, offering the best position to resolve conflict through submissions.

Practiced correctly, BJJ is one of the most effective ways to handle larger, stronger opponents. Its success in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) has driven worldwide popularity. Students can train for self-defense, sport Jiu-Jitsu (including submission grappling), or MMA competition — making BJJ an essential component of nearly every elite martial artist’s journey.

• Facilitates weight loss and improves conditioning
• Builds functional strength and endurance
• Reduces stress through healthy physical activity
• Teaches practical skills to protect yourself and loved ones
• Improves flexibility, coordination, and balance
• Encourages teamwork and camaraderie
• Fosters lasting self-confidence

Starting martial arts can be intimidating for beginners. Our Fundamentals Class at Grip HQ and all affiliate schools is designed to make learning easy and safe, focusing on controlled drilling of techniques before moving into live sparring.

This class lays the foundation for every student, teaching the core concepts of BJJ and engraining proper movement into muscle memory. With this format, students develop control, precision, and confidence while minimizing risk of injury.

Our Intermediate Class combines fundamental, intermediate, and advanced techniques. Training begins with drilling, followed by technical study, and concludes with positional training.

At Grip Jiu-Jitsu Team, we emphasize having fun while maintaining respect for training partners. Like shoes left outside the mat, egos stay at the door. This mindset allows students to learn faster, train safer, and enjoy the process.

For students aiming to compete or test their skills at a higher level, the Advanced Class offers world-class instruction.

At Grip Jiu-Jitsu Team, we believe in creating champions both on and off the mats. Jiu-Jitsu is more than a sport — it’s a life philosophy. On the mats, you learn to address one problem at a time, developing patience and clarity. The same principle applies to everyday challenges, helping you stay calm, focused, and solution-oriented.

Submission Grappling, or No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu, applies the same principles as traditional BJJ without the gi (uniform). Without grips on fabric, takedowns resemble wrestling, while ground transitions become faster and more dynamic.

We recommend students first establish solid fundamentals in BJJ before moving to No-Gi. A strong base in control, leverage, and technique ensures a safer and more productive learning experience.

At Grip HQ and across our affiliate network, we provide world-class instruction, professional structure, and a supportive community. Whether you’re training for self-defense, fitness, or competition, Grip Jiu-Jitsu Team offers the perfect environment to help you succeed.
