KID'S CLASSES
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is an excellent form of self-defence and a great way for kids to learn self-confidence, discipline, body awareness, and balance. Our children’s curriculum ensures a vibrant and enriching class experience for the children in a safe and fun environment. The classes are open to children aged 5-16 to come and try!
Our kids’ membership runs throughout the year, but classes are term time only. Please be aware that this has already been taken into account in the membership pricing. The termly payments are spread out over the 4/8/12 months, depending on your selected contract – you’re not paying for missed classes.

Kids Behaviour Policy
- Respect
Children should respect their instructors and training partners. They should not use their skills to hurt other people.
- Safe Training
Children should listen and follow the instructions carefully. If they are not sure, or learning a new skill they should drill slowly and carefully and ask the instructor to show them the technique again if needed. They should always stop if their training partner taps or says ‘stop’ or seems to be in discomfort.
- Training
Children should listen carefully, work hard, try their best and be attentive. They should help their training partner by trying hard during the drills and take turns.
- Language
Children should avoid language that is rude, racist or sexist. They should not make fun of a partner or use derogatory turns if they are finding it hard to learn a particular skill.
- Punctuality
Children should arrive on time for classes – time to warm up is particularly important for a physical activity such as jiu jitsu.
- Victory and defeat
Children should be gracious in victory and defeat, and not gloat.
- Bullying
Bullying is not acceptable and goes against the ethos of our club. It will be dealt with seriously
- Reporting concerns
If something occurs within a class that the child is not happy with, please discuss it with the instructor/ email admin@kingstonjiujitsu.com
- Parental responsibility
Your child remains your responsibility until they are in the room where training occurs.
Jiu jitsu is a ‘slow burn’ sport and encouragement, support of regular training and patience will make the process an enjoyable one.
What happens if a child does not fulfil these behaviour expectations?
The coaching team are trained in child behaviour management and will implement strategies to encourage excellent behaviour. These may include reminding a child or children of the behaviour expected of them or informing them that certain behaviour does not meet these expectations. Coaches may ask children behaving in a disruptive way to sit out the training session for a short while initially, the time of sitting out being extended for repeated bad behaviour. If behaviour is extremely or persistently disrespectful or disruptive, a child may be asked to leave the club permanently. Our primary concern with a contact sport must be the safety of everyone in the room.
Uniform policy:
Kingston Jiu Jitsu uniform is compulsory for all kids training at the club. We have all sizes available – please contact admin@kingstonjiujitsu.com for more information.
