Kids jiu-jitsu

Affectionately known as the Sloth Defense Squad, our children's program teaches kids how to defend themselves against physical bullying. Focusing on the grappling techniques of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Sloth teaches students to use body positioning to control an attacker, rather than relying on punches and kicks. Inspired by the steady and deliberate nature of the sloth, this program is designed to equip kids with the self-defense skills they need while instilling core principles of discipline, respect and patience.
