Kids Program

Teaches Self-Defense

As a parent, your first priority is keeping your child safe. That’s why we are so passionate about equipping kids with the invaluable self-defense skills that martial arts provide. While all forms of martial arts prepare students for real-life altercations and provide essential lessons on how to protect oneself, Ooltewah Jiu-Jitsu Academy takes self-defense to another level. Our curriculum is unique in its ability to mirror situations students could potentially face in the real world.

Provides A Safe Environment

Preparing to defend oneself against an attacker sounds scary, but we promise to make sure that your child feels comfortable and safe throughout the entire process. We enforce a strict policy of acceptance, respect, and care for others that are incorporated into everything we do – whether it’s student-instructor interactions, warm-ups, sparring, or student friendships. From day one, we encourage students to express any questions and concerns they may have. We believe that communication is the key to creating a healthy and uplifting training environment.

Improves Health and Fitness

Our Kids Program classes don’t just teach your child essential self-defense skills. It helps them in all aspects of their life. Having the ability to protect yourself will create a unique type of confidence in your child that carries over into their ability to speak out in class, make new friends, and stand up for themselves and others against bullies. Not to mention, martial arts is great for your child’s health. This martial arts discipline is known for providing students with a full-body workout that boosts flexibility, improves coordination, and creates positive lifestyle habits.

Creates Community

From the moment a child steps into our building, they will be met with a supportive and inclusive environment of instructors and fellow students who want them to succeed. Because students regularly spar with each other in class, you may be surprised to learn just how strong the friendships in our self defense classes are. Martial arts teaches kids the thrill of winning as well as the humility of losing, and we make sure our students respect each other throughout all the highs and lows of their training.

Confidence Building

Ooltewah Jiu-Jitsu Academy is dedicated to empowering you with the confidence and self-esteem needed to succeed in everyday life. Martial arts can bring out the positive qualities that have always been a part of you, whether that is inner calm, positive mental attitude, patience, or self-discipline. Martial arts training will help you overcome fear, anger, and self-doubt, and leave you feeling confident in any situation.

Instills Focus

A huge part of what makes martial arts so great is that it doesn’t just strengthen the body, it strengthens the mind as well. Many parents worry that martial arts won’t be the right fit for their child because he or she has a lot of energy. But this couldn’t be further from the truth! At Ooltewah Jiu-Jitsu Academy, we want our students to be energetic and excited when they come to class – our goal is simply to focus that energy. After a long day sitting at a desk, kids need a place to let loose. Our self defense curriculum aims to take all that pent-up energy and direct it into throws, blows, and a wide variety of fun activities.
