Every child is unique, and an initial assessment conducted by the instructor is recommended before any sign-ups occur. However, between the ages of 3-5 is typically a good starting point.
Can kids compete in jiu-jitsu?
Yes! It’s recommended children spend at least 3-6 months training before their first competition.
How do kids Move Up to adults classes?
Age, size, and maturity level will all play a role in when a child is ready to move into the adults classes. Generally speaking, kids tend to reach this point between the ages of 13-16.
