Empowering Kids Through Martial Arts
Confidence, discipline, and anti-bullying skills—all in one fun and engaging class.
A Martial Arts Program That Builds Strong Kids Inside and Out
Our kids’ martial arts program is more than just physical training—it’s about helping children grow mentally and emotionally. By learning martial arts, kids build confidence, discipline, and resilience to navigate challenges like bullying. Through fun and structured classes, your child will develop important life skills while staying active and making new friends.
Why Martial Arts? Why Us?
Our program isn’t just about self-defense. Every day our class will work on a character development trait. We will provide the children with key words and actions that they can take back to their class, home, and daily life to help grow their character, and become confident, disciplined, focused children:
- Confidence: Build self-esteem through achievable goals.
- Anti-Bullying: Teach self-defense and assertiveness to stop bullying before it starts.
- Focus and Discipline: Improve attention spans and develop healthy habits.
- Physical Fitness: Encourage a lifetime of activity and health.
- Teamwork and Social Skills: Foster camaraderie and friendships in a fun, supportive environment.
Programs Tailored to Your Child's Needs
Our program is for children of all ages and abilities. Whether this is your child’s first experience with Jiu Jitsu or Bully Prevention or if they are taking classes elsewhere, our coaches are trained to make sure they get the absolute most out of the class, both in physical and emotional development.
- Ages: All ages are welcome. We come to your child’s school so the curriculum is tailored based on the age.
- Ease of Schedule: Your children are busy and as their parents you have plenty of places to run them around to. We come to your child’s school during their school day, so this is a life skill that they will learn, but will not interfere with their, or your, other activities.
Bullying affects 1 in 5 kids, but martial arts gives your child the confidence and skills to stand up for themselves without resorting to violence. In our classes, we focus on teaching kids how to:
- Project confidence to deter bullies.
- Set boundaries assertively.
- Use self-defense as a last resort.
Help your child feel safe and strong—both on and off the mat.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does my child need prior experience?
Not at all, our program is designed for younger children, who most likely have zero experience. Our coaches are trained to educate all levels.
What if my child is shy?
It is our experience that all children exhibit some form of shyness to what is new and different. We make it a fun, interactive environment where a child can come out of their shell and grow and excel.
How does martial arts help with bullying?
We provide children with the tools and confidence they need to identify an unsafe situation, set boundaries, project confidence, locate parents or teachers while maintaining a safe distance, and when needed physically protect themselves. We provide the children with the skills needed to identify when physicality is needed or not.
Improve your kid’s life (& yours, too)
We teach kids how to identify, avoid, and when necessary confront bullying with both verbal response techniques and jiu jitsu self-defense which is the best non-violent self-defense for children and teens. By learning these skills, kids gain the self-confidence to defuse confrontations before they escalate and the skills to protect themselves, if needed.
Bullying is one of the most serious and consequential social issues in schools today, and it has ripple effects throughout our communities.
- 280,000 kids are physically attacked each month
- Every 7 minutes a kid is bullied on a playground in the US
- Every year, 3 million children miss school due to bullying
- 70% of students believe schools respond poorly to bullying and that adult help is infrequent
Don’t let you child be a victim – give them the power to end bullying today!
Our Story
Little Monkeys began at our home studio where we teach children Bully Prevention and sport Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. We understood the necessity to step outside our walls and inform parents and children what Jiu Jitsu can do for their children. So we expanded into our Youth Enrichment program where we teach kids aged 3-14 within their schools self defense and skills necessary for Bully Prevention. Skills such as:
Personal Growth
We teach students to actively develop and work on their character and to show care and respect for teachers, coaches, and peers, to provide leadership for younger students, and to act with discipline, honor, humility and consideration.
Social Skills
Our inclusive program encourages interaction with kids of all ages, backgrounds and abilities. We provide a supportive environment that promotes positive engagement between students in and out of the classroom.
