Kids 7-9

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is considered the most efficient martial art for self-defence as the techniques utilise leverage over strength which allows a smaller person to manage a bigger opponent, using timing, momentum and leverage.

Seeing first hand how Jiu-Jitsu empowers kids with the confidence and helps them to deal with everyday life, using the skills they have learned is one of the greatest things to witness.

Kids Grading System

Our unique Kids Grading system is designed to help our students learn Brazilian Jiujitsu with a strong focus on personal development such as confidence, discipline, respect (for themselves and others) and cognitive and mind development along the journey.

Our coaches are trained to track students’ progress in 4 areas - Persistence, Focus, Teamwork and Leadership. These essential Life Skills are beneficial and easily transferable off the mats for their future self.

Students will be granted coloured stripes when coaches identify development in these areas.

Children have a very literal understanding of most things, especially at this stage

We developed our Kids program for this age group to teach them about Jiujitsu in a simple and fun way to keep them engaged.

  • Our 7-9 YO classes are 50 minutes long, in this age group we will start exploring and developing body movements with a degree of difficulty which will be challenging but achievable so they can grow with a broader exposure on how to move and control their body as well as how to use their body to control their training partners.

    In this classes they will start to learn basic and some advanced techniques and submissions which are IBJJF allowed for this age group.

  • Around this age their cognitive and physical skills will be very adaptable so they whatever they learn now they will take for their teenage years and adulthood, teenagers that are physically competent are more confident to learn, socialise and explore, parents have reported that kids who started training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at this stage will generally be willing to try different sports and physical activities.

  • At One Purpose BJJ our coaches team are constantly trained and prepared for every class, we have daily meetings before classes where we debrief and exchange feedback in order to keep evolving and providing the best coaching to our students.

    We are a family operated Academy where we and our children train and coach together daily.
