Is Jiu-Jitsu Safe for Small Kids?

Yes—when taught correctly.

We emphasize:

Controlled takedowns and safe landing mechanics (breakfalls).

Position over submission for beginners: first learn to escape and control; submissions come later and under strict supervision.

Tap culture: tapping is smart, respected, and required.

Hygiene: clean mats, clean gis, water breaks, and rest when needed.

We keep coaching ratios tight and pair kids thoughtfully. Safety is culture first, technique second.
