Beginner & Homeschool 5-7 Kids
At North Idaho Jiu Jitsu, we believe in providing kids with an enjoyable experience as they delve into the fundamental principles of Brazilian JiuJitsu. Our dedicated 45-minute class is carefully designed to learn the basics while making it fun. In addition to participating in invigorating warm-ups, drills, and games, our young students also have the opportunity to enhance their coordination and overall ability. We emphasize teaching them the essential movements that form the foundation of the art, while simultaneously helping them develop a keen sense of spatial awareness. Not only does this class serve as a splendid introduction to Jiu Jitsu, but it also instills discipline and self-defense skills in our young learners.
Beginner, Intermediate & Homeschool 8-14 Kids
Much like our younger kids beginner class, the older kids will be introduced to the fundamental principles of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in a fast paced yet fun environment. This class is an hour long and children will begin their class time with warm-ups followed by more complex drills and techniques that focus on foundational positions of this grappling sport. This class will introduce live training that will build up their coordination and assertiveness in self defense. They will learn essential movements and improve their spacial awareness. This class is designed to learn discipline and self-defense while building their confidence, encouraging good character and gaining more function and control of their bodies.
*Children demonstrating higher skillset may be invited to attend the Advanced Kids Classes per the discretion of the instructors.
*Advanced 5-7 & 8-14 Kids*
In the advanced program at North Idaho Jiu Jitsu, we encourage kids to move beyond the basics and explore the realm of more advanced Jiu Jitsu techniques, as well as delve into the world of striking. In this program, we hold higher expectations for our students, particularly in terms of their behavior and their ability to keep up with the demands of the class. It's truly inspiring to witness the dedication of these kids, many of whom participate in competitions and approach their training with a serious mindset, eager to absorb as much knowledge as possible at an accelerated pace. While we still believe in incorporating an element of fun into the sessions, it takes on a different form in this more advanced program. Here, the idea of fun is often intertwined with live rolling sessions, wherein students get to put their skills to practice with their peers.
