Juniors

At Zero Gravity Martial Arts, we believe in nurturing the next generation through Brazilian Jiu Jitsu by encouraging positive thinking, confidence and respectful behaviour on and off the mat.

During our training sessions, children are continually encouraged to persevere as they work through techniques with purposeful repetition. We introduce new content regularly to keep them engaged, while also helping them take ownership of the skills they are developing.

Through live rolling (free grappling), students can release energy and apply their techniques with training partners in a controlled, supportive environment. This not only reinforces learning but also ensures they have plenty of fun while building confidence and resilience.

Benefits of Jiu-Jitsu for Kids

  • Physical Fitness: Jiu-Jitsu is a dynamic sport that improves strength, flexibility, coordination, and overall fitness.
  • Confidence Building: As they progress and master new skills, children gain a strong sense of accomplishment and self-esteem.
  • Discipline and Focus: Jiu-Jitsu teaches discipline, respect, and the importance of setting and achieving goals.
  • Social Skills: Our classes foster a supportive and inclusive environment where children build friendships and learn to work as a team.
  • Problem-Solving: Jiu-Jitsu encourages critical thinking and problem-solving skills as children learn to strategize and adapt on the mat.

Our Classes

Our classes run in line with the school terms, with two levels available for junior students:

  • Tuataras (ages 5–8)
  • T-Rex (ages 9–13)

Students are grouped using a combination of age, size, and experience to ensure a safe, supportive, and effective learning environment.

Our experienced instructors assess each child on a regular basis to ensure they are in the class that best suits their needs and development.

Safety and Supervision:

At Zero Gravity Martial Arts, safety is our top priority. Our instructors are trained to create a safe and supportive learning environment. We use age-appropriate techniques and always ensure proper supervision.
