Youth MMA (7 – 10)
Our experienced instructors provide a safe and encouraging atmosphere where students are challenged to work hard, support one another, and enjoy learning new skills every week. Youth MMA is a fantastic way for kids to stay active, make new friends, and build healthy habits that last a lifetime. Rodjitsu's Youth MMA program emphasizes confidence, focus, and self-control through energetic, age-appropriate instruction.
Build confidence, strength, and discipline through youth mixed martial arts
Our Youth MMA program is designed for children ages 7 to 10 who are ready to develop confidence, athletic ability, and real-world self-defense skills in a fun, structured environment. Combining age-appropriate techniques from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling, boxing, and striking fundamentals, students learn how to move with confidence while developing respect, discipline, and self-control. Every class is carefully designed to keep kids engaged through dynamic drills, partner exercises, and skill-based games that improve coordination, focus, and teamwork. Rather than emphasizing winning, we focus on personal growth, consistent improvement, and helping every child reach their full potential.
