Kids Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Alex Barcelona Photography

Our kids Jiu Jitsu classes are divided into 4 different programs all instilling respect, discipline and the general knowledge of the art itself; including ground work, takedowns and self defense.

Itty Bitty Class (30 minutes ) is for children ages 4-6 years old. The foundation of specific jiu jitsu movements is built up in this class where children learn the basic of the martial art and self defense; that ultimately sets them up to transition into the Kids Fundamentals class once they are old enough.

Kids Fundamentals (45 minutes) is for children 7-11 years old. Classes consist of warm ups, self defense and bully proof techniques where children learn how to defuse situations and protect themselves. Techniques are taught based on the successful curriculum that we built. They learn the basic concepts of Jiu Jitsu such as closed guard, open guard, submissions and passing.

All Stars (45 minutes) is by invite only from instructors for kids who have shown that they are interested in taking their Jiu Jitsu to the next level. Whether it is by competing, showing advanced knowledge or the desire to grow as an individual.

Teens Class (1 hour) is for adolescents ages 12-14 who are ready to learn the fundamentals and concepts of all Jiu Jitsu has to offer. This includes our self defense curriculum.

**With friendly competitions during practice and honing their coordination skills, all kids programs are a fun and open environment. Please join us today for your free trial. You may sign the waiver online by choosing a day and class that best fits your schedule. See you soon.

BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU

OVERVIEW

At Lanistae Academy in Los Altos, Ca we offer programs to accommodate ANY ONE! From kids classes that start at the age of 4 to our advanced programs we have multiple curriculums specially designed to meet your needs. All beginners start in the Beginners Program. All of our classes are taught by IBJJF sanctioned and certified Instructors!

Beginners CLASS:

The beginners classes were designed by Lanistae Academy and based on a 32 class curriculum. Students focus on learning self defense skills that transcend past jiu jitsu and into all facets of life. We take a systematic approach that makes learning fun and easy. If you are a beginner with little or no experience this is the class for you! You will learn the basic movements, positions, and concepts that are essential for Jiu-Jitsu. We believe in “basics” and strongly encourage this thought process. This is a traditional Gi class and is an hour long with warm ups, self defense, drilling and specific sparring.

ADVANCED JIU-JITSU:

This Advanced Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program is our main group class and open to 2 stripe white belts and above. It is designed for students who have more experience and grasp on the basic concepts of Jiu Jitsu. The advanced program includes drilling and live sparring (rolling) with an emphasis on technique. This class is one hour and 45 minutes long with 45 minutes of technique drilling and 45 minutes of sparring. The use of a Gi is mandatory in this class.

NO-GI:

No Gi class is designed for advanced students and consists of Jiu Jitsu techniques and concepts adapted to make up for the lack of gi to grab. Students will learn how to take down, hold down and apply joint locks to submit opponents who are not wearing a Gi. Class consists of warm-ups, techniques, drilling and sparring. This class is an excellent way to enhance your Jiu Jitsu.  Students must wear the shorts and a rash guard uniform to attend this class
