Childrens Jiu Jitsu
LITTLE Monkeys
Ages 3-5
Building Strong Bodies and Confident Minds — One Roll at a Time
Our Tiny Monkeys program is specially designed for children ages 3 to 5—an age when physical coordination, emotional awareness, and social confidence are just beginning to take shape. Through fun, structured Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu–inspired movement and age appropriate self defense, your child will gain foundational life skills that will serve them far beyond the mat.
Why Start So Young?
Early childhood is the perfect time to introduce positive movement patterns, develop motor coordination, and lay the groundwork for healthy habits. More importantly, kids at this age are constantly learning how to manage their emotions, focus their attention, and solve problems in real time—skills that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu helps nurture in a safe, supportive setting.

What Makes This Different?
Unlike traditional martial arts classes that rely on complex techniques or aggressive drills, our Tint Monkeys program is rooted in age-appropriate movement and discipline. It’s not about punching and kicking—it’s about building the kind of confidence that helps kids walk into a room, follow directions, try new things, and bounce back from frustration.
We focus on:
Play-based learning that feels like fun, not pressure
Positive reinforcement that builds self-esteem
Safe interactions that promote kindness, not competition
