Welcome to Summit's Youth Brazilian Jiu Jitsu! Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is one of the most interactive, dynamic, and fun activities a kid can do. We teach our students Helio Gracie's authentic ground-fighting system which includes all major ground positions, escapes, and self-defenses. Kids today face a challenging world where bullying is all too common. Since 9 out of 10 fights end up on the ground, we are passionate about teaching our kids how to defend themselves and others, all while learning manners, self-control and respect. 
​Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is very unique in that it creates a 3-dimensional world between you and your partner where up is down and down is up. Developing this kind of spatial awareness in our kids builds a special, rare kind of confidence and encourages their adventurous spirit.

At Summit, we firmly believe kids need to be kids - they need to run, sweat, play, laugh and learn in an interactive but structured environment. We work hard to make our classes challenging but fun. We use developmental games that get them to laugh and relax, while still working on BJJ-related skills. We combine drilling and safe rolling to train our kids to focus, practice, and then test their skills in a more animated situation. They learn a positive, can-do attitude, that if you fall down, you get back up and try again!
​All of our classes include a fitness and flexibility portion. This involves cardio, stretching, pushups, sit ups, etc. Most kids nowadays are accustomed to sitting in school for long portions of time. They're more used to looking at a phone than they are to using their God-given muscles to run or play. We proactively help our students to build strength and wake their bodies up again, no matter at what level of fitness they begin. From the naturally athletic to the awkward kids, our Youth BJJ class is a great way to help develop coordination, fitness and strength.
My two children are learning martial arts, and having fun at the same time. The instructors teach them respect, self-control, and self-discipline. Although they teach them never to go looking for a fight, should something happen they know how to defend themselves. The training here at Summit Martial Arts has boosted their confidence greatly.

So if you think your 9-15 year old would be interested in our Youth BJJ program, call us and schedule a trial week! We'd love to have them come in and see if it's a good fit. No doubt - Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is challenging and hard work, but it's a fun and extremely rewarding activity that your son or daughter will take with them the rest of their life.
