Empowering the next generationthrough the art of jiu jitsu

The AOJ Kids Program is designed to provide benefits that extend far beyond the mats by instilling important core values like confidence, self-discipline, respect, and more through the martial art of Jiu Jitsu. AOJ Academy uses Jiu Jitsu as a tool to positively shape and impact the next generation.

Three programs. One path.

Every child starts where they are. Our instructors group students by age and experience so each class is the right size, pace and challenge.

Kids 3-5

This is our youngest age group and a great time to start your child on their Jiu Jitsu journey. The curriculum in this program is centered around exercises and games that will introduce our youngest students to the basic movements and core values of jiu jitsu.

Kids 6-8

The Kids 6-8 Program will build on all of the goals of the 3-5 age groups and also begin to incorporate a more diverse set of Jiu Jitsu techniques and skills.

Kids 9-13

This is the oldest age group in our kids program and is an important transitional phase as we prepare these students to enter into the adult program. It is our goal to equip them with the confidence and skill set they will need to excel and continue to grow with Jiu Jitsu into adulthood.
