Investing in Kids
Strong bodies. Stronger minds.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is unlike any other sport available to kids. Our program develops our little diamonds into motivated, confident, compassionate adults.
In 2018, the SJJA Kids Team surpassed many more established martial arts schools to win the National, State and Pan Pacific Team Championships.
We expect a strong work ethic, teamwork, courage, respect, and an anti-bullying mindset.
