Kids Jiu Jitsu in Poway

What kids classes are like

Kids classes at Poway Jiu Jitsu are 50 minutes long and run in both the traditional uniform (gi) and no-gi. After school, kids train Monday through Thursday at 4:30pm — gi on Monday and Wednesday, no-gi on Tuesday and Thursday — with a Saturday morning gi class at 9:00am.

Classes are built around the academy’s core values: Respect, Focus, Integrity, and Community.

Benefits

Jiu jitsu gives kids a challenging, structured way to move their bodies and work with others. It can build self-confidence, support self-defense, strengthen problem-solving, and promote discipline and respect.

Parents can watch those habits take shape in a room that emphasizes respect and community — not a sales pitch. Membership options and sibling discounts are listed on our Pricing page, and a child’s first week is a free, unlimited trial.

Who it’s for

Kids classes are for ages 6–13. No experience is required. We welcome families from Poway, Rancho Bernardo, Scripps Ranch, 4S Ranch, Ramona, and nearby North County communities.

What a first class looks like

1. Sign up for a free 7-day trial — unlimited classes, all programs, no obligation, and no experience required.

2. Book your child’s classes online on our schedule at least 1 hour in advance.

3. Arrive 10 minutes early so your child can meet the coaches.

4. Bring a water bottle (highly recommended). Shoes and footwear stay off the mats. If your child has a gi, bring it; if not, loaner gis are available. For no-gi classes, wear a rashguard and shorts.

5. During the trial week, your child can attend as many classes as they’d like.

When you’re ready to continue, see membership options on our Pricing page.
