Three Age Groups

The right class
for every age.

Kids train with others their own age, so every class is pitched at the right level. At 16, students move up to our Adult program.

Ages 4–6

Little Warriors

Move. Learn. Grow.

A first step onto the mat. Our youngest students build balance, coordination, and listening skills through games and simple movements, all while having fun.

Ages 7–12

Legacy Juniors

Build Skills. Build Confidence. Build Character.

Jiu-Jitsu fundamentals taught through structured drills, games, and age-appropriate technique, with a focus on discipline, respect, and confidence.

Ages 13–15

Legacy Next Gen

Develop Your Game.

For teens ready to go deeper — sharper technique, more positional work, and the foundation to step into the adult program at 16.

Why Jiu-Jitsu

More than
a sport.

Jiu-Jitsu gives kids an active, structured place to grow. The skills they build on the mat go home with them — to school, to the playground, and everywhere in between.

01

Movement

Rolling, falling safely, balance, and coordination — the movement fundamentals every young athlete needs.

02

Discipline

Listening, following instructions, and showing respect for coaches and training partners, every class.

03

Confidence

Learning something hard and getting better at it. Every new skill is proof they can do more than they thought.

04

Fun

Games and exercises keep kids engaged and moving, so they look forward to coming back every week.
