Come see why Excelsior’s Youth Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Program is right for your child today!
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art that emphasizes ground fighting and grappling techniques. Unlike other martial arts, BJJ doesn’t rely on strength or size, making it suitable for children of all ages and sizes. Through structured training, kids learn essential self-defense skills while developing mental and physical agility.
At Excelsior, we believe in nurturing the whole child. Our experienced instructors are dedicated to guiding and motivating children through their journey in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. We focus on teaching proper technique, instilling discipline, and fostering personal growth in a safe and supportive environment.
In our youth Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes, children will engage in age-appropriate drills, games, and exercises designed to develop their skills and understanding of BJJ. Our instructors create a positive and encouraging atmosphere where kids can learn, grow, and have fun.
Develop Confidence: As children learn and master new techniques, they gain confidence in their abilities both on and off the mat. Build Discipline: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu teaches children the value of discipline, focus, and perseverance, which are essential skills for success in all areas of life. Enhance Physical Fitness: Our classes provide a fun and challenging workout that improves strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular health. Promote Personal Development: Through consistent training, children learn valuable life skills such as problem-solving, goal-setting, and teamwork.

Coach Lesley is amazing. I can't say enough about her. From my son's very first class with her to his first tournament, all the way up to his last class she was wonderful. Coach Lesley is a really good teacher, she had patience and took her time to demonstrate the moves, and made sure the kids were able to do it correctly. My son always left her class excited to show his dad what he had learned that day when he got home. His very first tournament he was so nervous but the coach was there cheerin.
My kids and I loved training with Lesley in children’s and ladies Jiu jitsu classes! She has a special way of making training fun but also teaching discipline and technique! She is a five star coach in my book! 🙌.
