FOR KIDS AND PARENTS
Learn, move and grow with a team.
Children learn more than techniques in BJJ. They practise coordination, attention, respectful interaction, problem-solving and how to handle success and setbacks in a clearly coached environment.
Safety & structure
Coaches teach rules, controlled movement and good partner behaviour before increasing intensity.
Gi & No-Gi
Kids learn BJJ with and without the Gi, building a broad technical foundation.
Competition is optional
Competition training is available for interested and suitable children, but it is never required for regular Kids BJJ.
A TYPICAL KIDS CLASS
Clear structure, plenty of movement and specific learning goals.
A kids class combines warm-up and coordination, technical drills, playful tasks and age-appropriate partner training. The exact structure depends on the group and training goal.

FAQ
What parents want to know before a first Kids BJJ class.
01What age can my child start?+
The current Zurich schedule includes kids groups from around age 3. The right group depends on age and development.
02Does my child have to compete?+
No. Competition is optional. Regular Kids BJJ works completely without tournament participation.
03What should my child bring to a trial?+
Clean, comfortable sportswear and a water bottle are enough for the first visit. The team will explain suitable equipment afterwards.
04Is BJJ suitable for a shy child?+
Many children benefit from the clear structure and small, concrete learning steps. A trial lets both parent and child experience the group first.
05How often should a child train?+
That depends on age, motivation and schedule. We therefore offer both 1–2 classes per week and Unlimited.
06What if my child wants to compete?+
Interested children can join additional competition sessions and receive coaching. Coaches work with parents and the child to decide when this makes sense.
