YOUTH “YETI” BJJ
At High Altitude, we offer youth martial arts classes in both Kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The programs are known as the Youth “Yeti” BJJ and the Youth Striking program. It 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”.
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.
Youth classes are separated by discipline, age group, and experience level.
