Ages 6-13 | This program is specially designed for homeschooled kids. Homeschooling means the child receives their education at home rather than attending a public or private school.
Our Homeschool BJJ program welcomes students of all experience levels—whether your child is brand new to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or has trained before. We provide a fun, structured, and supportive environment where every student can learn at their own pace, build confidence, and stay active while connecting with other homeschool families.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a grappling-based martial art that focuses on control, technique, and leverage—without any striking, punches, or kicks. Kids learn how to safely apply techniques in real time, developing strength, focus, and confidence through training that feels like problem-solving in motion.
This hands-on style, called grappling (which means working with an opponent using holds and movement), helps kids build coordination, body awareness, and resilience. It often feels like an active, physical game—engaging and fun, yet grounded in discipline and respect.
Students learn how to stay calm under pressure, think clearly, and defend themselves in a safe and controlled way. In a real-life situation, a child trained in BJJ could protect themselves—possibly even against someone bigger or stronger—without needing to punch or kick. The focus is always on safety, control, and confidence—not causing harm.
We know that as a homeschooling parent, you're always looking for ways to support your child’s development—not just academically, but socially and physically, too. That’s where Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu comes in.
Social Connection
One of the biggest challenges for many homeschool families is finding consistent social interaction. In our classes, your child will connect with other kids in a positive, structured environment. They'll build friendships, work with partners, and learn important social skills like teamwork, communication, and respect.
Physical Activity & Coordination
If your child needs a healthy way to stay active, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a great option. It’s a full-body activity that helps improve strength, balance, flexibility, and coordination. It’s also a fun way to burn energy and stay physically engaged.
Confidence & Self-Esteem
As students learn techniques and overcome challenges on the mat, they begin to trust in their own abilities. Progress isn’t based on being the fastest or strongest—it’s about effort, consistency, and growth. That sense of accomplishment builds real confidence.
Discipline & Focus
Our classes are structured to help students stay engaged and on track. They'll learn how to follow instructions, stay focused, and push through challenges—skills that can easily translate into their studies and daily life.
Problem-Solving & Resilience
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu teaches kids how to stay calm under pressure and find solutions when something doesn’t go as planned. It helps build mental resilience, patience, and the mindset to keep trying—even when it’s tough.
Safe & Supportive Environment
We work hard to create a space where every student feels welcomed and supported, no matter their experience level. It’s a place where it’s okay to make mistakes, learn at your own pace, and grow without judgment.
Our Homeschool BJJ program are on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00am–11:00am, beginning September 2nd. Each class runs for one hour.
We offer flexible enrollment options, with both month-to-month agreements and year contracts available.
Families can also take advantage of discounts, and homeschool students have the option to combine this program with our afternoon kids’ classes for even more training opportunities (additional cost).
