Kids program
Kids classes
Our kids classes are about far more than martial arts. Children learn to move well, solve problems, look after a training partner and believe in themselves, in a structured class that stays fun.
See the timetableAges 4–7
Minis
A fun, structured introduction to NoGi Jiu-Jitsu where kids build confidence, coordination and social skills through movement, games and age-appropriate skills.
Ages 8–14
Juniors
NoGi Jiu-Jitsu and grappling that helps kids build real skills, confidence and resilience through structured coaching, partner work and age-appropriate live training.
Boys and girls
Learn together. Grow together.
Boys and girls train together. Working with different partners builds respect, adaptability and confidence, while coaches keep every session safe and supportive so each child progresses at their own pace.
Somewhere to belong
For a lot of kids, SJA becomes more than a class. It's a place where they make friends, feel part of a team and have people cheering them on as they improve.
