KIDS JIU JITSU
Empowering Young Champions Through Expert Instruction
​
At Black Lion Jiu Jitsu, our dedicated instructors bring over a decade of experience in teaching Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to children. We pride ourselves on creating a supportive environment where young practitioners can thrive.
​
Our program is rooted in the principles of Gracie Jiu Jitsu, which emphasizes not only physical techniques but also the development of character and confidence. Through structured training, children learn discipline, respect, and resilience, equipping them with the tools to become the best versions of themselves both on and off the mat.
KIDS JIU JITSU FOR SELF DEFENSE AND COMPETITION
Kids Jiu Jitsu teaches more than strict physicality. It is a lesson in BJJ culture that often teaches students the discipline to be successful in additional aspects of their lives. Kids BJJ is a social sphere where it’s safe to trust and strengthen relationships of those around them. There will be failures and struggles, but perseverance will lead to growth. In time, your child will adopt the right mindset and attitude needed to be successful in life and in Jiu Jitsu. Developing fine motor skills, spatial awareness, and coordination in repetitious practice will give a student greater control over their body and learn precision of his or her actions.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
CALEB SCHUTTER
I shopped a few BJJ Gyms in the area and this gym is different. Very friendly people and the coach is always on the mat showing his students how to get better. I have lost weight and learned a lot so far at Black Lion.
KEVIN DALEY
Chad runs a great training facility and has a lot of great staff in place to assist in teaching. This is a very impressive establishment.
DAVID BRELINSKI
Chad, Justin, Morgan, and all the higher belts will take the time to go above and beyond. The most important thing is to show a little discipline and keep showing up. You do that and, I promise, you’ll thank yourself.
