YOUTH JIU-JITSU CURRICULUM HIGHLIGHTS
Our youth jiu-jitsu fundamentals program focuses on 5 core areas essential for starting Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which are introduced progressively across 25 class lesson plans:

Guard Retention: Young students learn to maintain strong positions by developing fundamental concepts like framing, hip escapes, and the concept of realigning their guard. These skills are key for effective defense and transitioning between positions.

Dominant Positions: Students will learn to improve their positioning from dominant positions such as the mount, side control, and back control. Pinning techniques that controll the shoulder and hip lines are emphasized.

Passing Guard: The curriculum teaches the essential skills of guard passing, starting with simple techniques like Toreando and knee cuts, which are gradually expanded into more advanced strategies.

Takedowns: Kids are introduced to basic wrestling stances and takedown techniques, including double leg, single leg, and sprawl to back transitions.
