Our Kids Programs

Toddlers & Ages 3-4.5

Little Grapplers BJJ

Our youngest martial artists learn through play-based BJJ sessions that develop balance, coordination, and body awareness. Classes are fun, safe, and designed to build confidence while introducing the basics of movement and grappling.

Ages 4 - Teens

Kids BJJ

Our Kids BJJ program builds strong fundamentals through creative drills, games, and live rolling. Kids develop problem-solving skills, discipline, and resilience while learning practical self-defence in a supportive, team-oriented environment.

Ages 6+

Kids Muay Thai

Kids Muay Thai builds coordination, confidence, and striking technique through pad work, partner drills, and high-energy games. It's a great way for kids to stay active, learn a new skill, and build self-discipline in a fun group setting.

Where Kids Learn Through Play

"We don't just teach techniques — we help kids learn how to think, move, and adapt."

At Training Grounds Kids, we create a space where children build confidence, coordination, and real-world skills — while genuinely enjoying the process.

Our classes (BJJ from age 3, Muay Thai from age 6) are built around movement, games, and guided challenges, helping kids stay engaged, curious, and excited to learn in a supportive, community-driven environment.

Our Kids Academy Coaching Philosophy

Our kids program combines our overall coaching philosophy with leading youth development frameworks, including the Athletic Skills Model (ASM) and elements of the Ecological and Constraint-Led Approach (CLA).

Athletic Skills Model (ASM)

We focus on developing well-rounded movers first, not just sport-specific skills. Through a wide variety of games and activities, kids build balance, coordination, agility, and confidence — setting them up for long-term success in both sport and life.

Ecological & Constraint-Led Approach

Rather than rigid drills, we use games and guided challenges that encourage kids to explore, make decisions, and solve problems. By adjusting rules, space, and tasks, children naturally develop effective skills in a way that feels fun and intuitive.

What This Means for Your Child

  • Fun, engaging classes that keep kids motivated
  • Improved coordination, movement, and athletic ability
  • Stronger decision-making, confidence, and resilience
  • Skills that transfer beyond the mats into everyday life

If you're looking for something that builds confidence, capability, and a love for movement — this is it.
