Kids Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (Ages 7-12)
Building Character Through Fun
At Checkmat Portland, we believe learning life skills should be both rewarding and enjoyable! Our kids’ program is designed to teach discipline, perseverance, and confidence while ensuring children have a great time on the mats. By blending traditional martial arts values with a modern, engaging approach, we help kids become the best versions of themselves.
Developing Essential Skills
In our kids' classes, students build leadership, strength, confidence, and self-defense skills. They also develop important abilities like coordination, body awareness, and self-control, while learning to interact with others and strengthen their social and emotional skills. Every class helps your child grow mentally and physically, whether they're mastering a technique or working with a partner.
Experience Brazilian Culture Through Jiu Jitsu
We incorporate Brazilian culture into our classes to make learning both exciting and meaningful. Kids pick up key Portuguese words for Jiu Jitsu, enjoy Brazilian music, and occasionally take part in traditions that honor the art’s roots. These experiences help your child connect with Jiu Jitsu on a deeper level while learning something new and fun along the way.
Unlocking Potential
Your child can apply what they’ve learned both on and off the mats. From engaging daily classes to exciting local and regional tournaments, they’ll build resilience, gain confidence, and unlock their true potential. Each challenge they overcome empowers them to reach new heights, showcasing the incredible rewards of dedication and effort.
