At The Martial Arts Zone we teach real, authentic Martial Arts. But amazing moves are just the beginning. We're not just creating action heros, we're creating heroes at life.

Your ninja will benefit from Youth Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu's specially designed curriculum that increases positive motor patterning, helping speed developmental milestones at all ages
The movement and activity at Youth Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu helps develop early strength in bones, muscles and connective tissue
Through controlled challenges in a supportive environment, students become more aware of their emotional capacity and become better at making intelligent emotional choices
Being able to take direction, correction and advice is a skill! At Youth Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, children learn how to receive feedback and apply instruction - which is vital for success in life!
Someone has to lead the future. Why not your child? Youth Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gives children structured leadership opportunities that will help them become future role models
Family Oriented
From the class schedule to the program focus to the interaction inside the facility, Youth Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was designed for families to have a positive, supportive place to call home!
A Sense of Belonging
It's not a luxury; it's a developmental requirement that kids have connections from groups outside the home where they feel like they belong. Where they're accepted, supported, and even challenged, but most of all, where they feel they belong. Youth Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu curates that experience for every single one of our students so that ehy know they have freinds and peers they can rely on
Character Skills
Yes, they'll learn impressive physical skills, but some of the most important lessons at Youth Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu are about Persistence, Determination, Empathy and other foundational life skills that students will be able to utilize for the rest of their lives
Athletic Skill Building
It's more than amazing ninja moves - it's proprioception, balance, agility and more - physical traits that when started young, will help your child become healthier, faster, stronger, more confident in their own bodies and far more willing to take on future physical challenges
Personal Growth
Parents have told us that the character development lessons and positive skill building their children get at Youth Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a huge parenting help. We've watched hundreds of kids turn into responsible, compassionate, determined teens and adults.
Kinesthetic Development
Developmental milestones don't stop once your child has grown out of the toddler phase. They can discover next-level coordination, build useable muscle strength, create dense bone structure and develop flexibility that will aid athletic performance and protect their bodies as they age. But they won't do this unless they're in a program that designed for it. Youth Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is!
It's "Worth it"
So often, activities for kids just aren't worth the hassle. Getting everyone ready, driving across town, trying to create a new routine...all to discover that the program just isn't great. We hear all the time that other activities for this age group have leadership that isn't in control, instruction that's sub par and programming that doens't seem to connect with students. But families at Youth Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tell us that our program is the best they've ever attended!
Kids absolutely love it!
The most important part is that kids love classes. They're having so much fun in class that they don't even realize they're learning life skills that they'll take with them forever. Parents tell us that classes at Youth Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu are the best part of their child's week!
Athletic Prowess
Our curriculum is designed to turn everyday kids into superstars. It's not just parents on the sidelines who can see the physical capabilities grow, the students can feel it too! The smiles on their faces when they nail the next bg move
Confidence in Action
It's one thing to tell a kid to be confident. But when they go from day 1, not knowing anything, to being physically capable of the skills at their level, you can actually see their confidence grow. They earn it class after class
Practical Application
We hope it never, ever happens, but if they need to, a student from Youth Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu could absolutely defend themselves in real life. But what they'll definitely do is apply the other lessons (those about patience, resilience and determination) every single day- At home, at school, as they move into college life and beyond. You'll have helped set them up for success, even if they never have to defend themselves physically
It's so much fun!
We're not sure if it's the sper engaging instructors, the age specific curriculum, the inclusive nature of the program, or the confidence kids are gaining, but kids tell us that classes at Youth Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu are the most fun they've ever had. No more dragging your child to their activities; they'll be in the car waiting when it's time for class!
Youth Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class times were designed by parents for parents - you're almost guaranteed to find a time that works for your families needs.
Your child will be surrounded by peers striving towards the same goals they are. They'll build friendships and be supported in their journey.
There's literally no better place for your child to learn life skills like Persistence, Determination and Empathy. They'll listen and learn from role-model instructors, and they'll love it!
It's more than amazing ninja moves - it's proprioception, balance, agility and more - physical traits that will remain with and benefit your child for the rest of their lives.
Kids need activities that are engaging and awesome. They *have* to be cooler than video games, TV, phones and other screen oriented activities that simply aren't beneficial. Youth Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is exactly what they want - here's why:
Our goals for our Youth Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu students are the same as your goals as a parent. Confidence, Self-Esteem, and Healthy Habits for life!
Having a solid foundation of positivity in your child's life is invaluable. You can't control their experiences everywhere, nor would you want to. But at The Martial Arts Zone, you'll know they'll always be good ones.
At The Martial Arts Zone, it doesn't matter if your child isn't the best kid on the team; they'll never ride the bench. They'll always know they're valued members of class, and part of the team, each and every day.
Traditional Youth Sports don't work for most kids.
For many families, the emotional cost and lack of real benefits simply isn't worth the effort and time commitment
Youth Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the perfect solution
All of the benefits of a group sport - teamwork, interaction with peers, learning with a group, but with all of the advantages of an individual activity
The fact is that many of our students also do plenty of traditional sports like Football, Softball, Soccer and more. And for kids who love to do it all, their coaches consistently tell our instructors that training at Youth Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gives these kids a competitive edge with reaction time, teamwork, and a higher "Sports IQ".
Families choose Youth Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu over other activities because our students truly thrive
Only .00016%
Make it "big"
For every 1 Million kids who play team sports age 8-12, on average only 168 are drafted into professional leagues. This doesn't mean you shouldn't play, but it for some families, it means the demanding schedules and negative culture just aren't worth it.
Riding the bench
After only a few seasons
Kids are often benched long before they've been given a chance to develop as athletes. At Youth Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, absolutely no one rides the bench. We make sure every student is challenges according to their abilities, and is suported as they grow into their potential
"It's not their thing"
They deserve to find their "thing"
At Youth Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, our goal isn't to pump out pros and bench the rest; it's to develop a students' full potential. For many kids, this means they may never play in the big leagues, but they'll love coming to every class, and they'll take the mental, emotional, and physical traits they develop with them into adulthood (even if they're not a pro player)
For many families, the emotional cost and lack of real benefits simply isn't worth the effort and time commitment
All of the benefits of a group sport - teamwork, interaction with peers, learning with a group, but with all of the advantages of an individual activity
Can we start at any time?
Yes! We don't have typical seasons like traditional sports. We are ready for beginners all the time!
My child is too short/tall/shy/rambunctious etc. Will they fit in?
Most likely, yes. But that's why we have a trial; to be sure that our program can accomodate your child and anythign they need. Parents often find that their children fit right in because our program is designed to be inclusive, but if you have specific concerns, give us a call and talk to one of our professional instructors so that we can get a beter feel for what your family may need!
Will my child get hurt?
You can never completely eliminate risk, but we do our absolute best through conscious programming and expert instruction. In fact, we most often have children need to take it easy in our classes because they hurt themselves in baseball/soccer/volleyball etc. It's almost never the other way around!
How do we schedule a trial?

Just a few of the reviews from members at Youth Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
This has become a part of our family’s routine and a source of joy. It started with my son and I joining. The environment is fantastic—Chris has cultivated a culture of fun, responsible training, and the right level of challenge to keep everyone engaged and growing. A couple of years later, my daughter joined the kids' class, and it’s been incredible to see my son step into a leadership role to help guide her along. We’re grateful to be part of this community!
Sean collins
I am so happy I found The Martial Arts Zone for my 5 year old son. It’s a great group of kids and people there! Chris and Susan are great with the kids — a no nonsense approach, but they still keep it plenty fun. My son is learning not only jujitsu, but important life skills that he will carry with him for life. It takes a village and I consider Susan and Chris part of the village helping to raise my son.
