Kids After-School BJJ Program in Chicago
Safe afternoons. Confident kids.
For working parents who want their child safe, supervised and growing after school: pickup, homework time, then jiu-jitsu that builds confidence and discipline. Coming soon, and the interest list is open.
What Kids After-School Program Will Include
Built for real life.
You can stop worrying about the 3 PM scramble. Professional drivers pick your child up from schools near the academy, homework gets started in a calm space, and then your child trains real jiu-jitsu with coaches who teach respect, focus and self-control. Kids learn to stand up for themselves calmly and to handle bullying without fighting. You pick them up at the gym at a set time. Spots are limited to just 10 kids, so join the interest list to hear first.
