KidsJiu-Jitsu

Sound Familiar?
You won't always be there to step in.
- They freeze when a bigger kid gets in their face
- No idea what to do if a scuffle hits the ground
- Too much energy, nowhere to put it
- You worry every time they walk onto the playground
What parents notice in the first few weeks:
- Calm, controlled body language under pressure
- Real escapes from the ground, without striking
- A safe place to wrestle hard twice a week
- A kid who handles it and tells you about it after
2 Age Groups
5 to 9 and 10 to 14 train separately, so nobody is matched against a teenager.
Designed For This Age
Control first, submissions second
A child who has been pinned a hundred times on a mat doesn't panic the first time it happens at school. That calm is the real result. The technique is how we get there.
Escapes first
How to get out from under someone bigger before anything else.
No striking needed
Control positions let kids end a situation without hitting.
Calm under pressure
Live rolling trains panic out, one round at a time.
Split by age
5 to 9 and 10 to 14 have their own classes.
Problem solving
Every position is a puzzle kids learn to think through.
Pairs with karate
Build stand-up and ground skills under one roof.
What happens in a Kids BJJ class
Warm-up and movement
Shrimping, bridging and breakfalls, the body mechanics BJJ is built on.
Technique of the day
One escape, sweep or control position, drilled with a partner.
Positional rounds
Start from a set position and work the problem with constant coaching.
Live rolling
Matched by size and experience, with instructors calling safety.
Line up and bow out
Rank check and reminders about respect on and off the mat.
In the First Few Weeks
What parents notice first
More confident walking into school
Burns energy and sleeps better
Talks through problems instead of panicking
Makes friends on the mat fast
Built For This Age
Safe, structured and age-appropriate
Every drill is chosen for each age group. Instructors are on the floor the whole class, not watching from the desk.
Matched partners
Kids are paired by size, age and experience. Contact is controlled and coached.
A set routine
Same bow-in, same structure, every class. Kids know what is coming, so they settle in fast.
Ranked instructors
Every instructor is ranked under Master Tara Cox, a 9th-degree black belt in the Chuck Norris System.
The first escape
The moment a kid gets out from under someone bigger for the first time, something changes in how they carry themselves.
They stop freezing
Pressure becomes a problem to solve, not something to fear.
They stand taller
Kids who know they can handle the ground walk differently.
They get to compete
Students who want to compete are supported. Nobody is pushed onto a tournament mat.
Built to last years, not weeks
Many Legacy students start as little kids and are still on the mat as black belts, and some now teach here.

"Legacy Martial Arts has been an incredible experience for my two sons. In a very short amount of time, I've seen a noticeable shift in their discipline and self-control. They are learning practical self-defense skills, but more importantly, they are building character."
— Christopher Brown
"My sons tried their Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Karate class last week. They loved it & I did too! The staff is laid back, knowledgeable, great with the kids and hands on. This is the Martial Arts school all 3 of our boys will attend."
