Our age ranges are guidelines, not rules. We place each child in the program where they’ll thrive based on their age, size, athleticism, prior jiu-jitsu experience, and maturity level. The goal is to ensure your child feels confident, challenged, and excited to learn from day one.
Your 10-day trial will give you the chance to try multiple age levels to see which program your child thrives in. If you have any questions before booking your trial, call us at (310) 893-0400 or contact us here.
