YOUTH “YETI” BJJ
At High Altitude Martial Arts, our Youth Jiu Jitsu program is designed to build strong, confident, and disciplined young athletes. Our classes provide a safe and encouraging environment where kids can learn the fundamentals of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu while developing important life skills such as respect, perseverance, and self-control.
We offer age-appropriate training for children from preschool to their teenage years, ensuring each student receives instruction tailored to their developmental stage and skill level. Guided by experienced coaches, under Dalton Grinstead, our youth jiu jitsu program focuses on building a solid foundation in martial arts while promoting physical fitness and mental resilience.
The program focuses on instructing children in a positive and playful environment. Your kids will develop techniques and character development as they learn these martial arts. Kids learn the value of being helpful, self-disciplined, and respectful, in and outside of the academy. Classes include live training, games, drilling techniques, and coach-led discussions on martial arts life lessons known as “mat chats”. Youth classes are separated by discipline, age group, and experience level.
Our kids program is the perfect tool to help your child mature into an adult as they learn self defense skills. Your kids will learn to persevere, a skill that is valuable throughout the rest of their lives. Many of our kids compete in tournaments but instead of focusing on winning or losing, we focus on working hard, having fun, being proud of yourself for having a positive attitude, and continuing to grow in your martial arts journey.
Whether your child is looking to gain self-defense skills, build confidence, or simply have fun while staying active, our Youth Jiu Jitsu classes at High Altitude Martial Arts provide the perfect blend of learning and enjoyment. Join our welcoming community and watch your child grow stronger on and off the mat!
