KIDS NO-GI JIU JITSU
TWO ROOMS. ONE PATH FOR YOUNG GRAPPLERS.
Our kids program is a separate space with its own coaches, curriculum, and mat time — built for younger students to grow into confident, capable grapplers. We run two age-appropriate tracks: Little's JJ for our youngest athletes and Kids Co-Ed for kids ready to learn technique and start sparring.

THE DIFFERENCE
LITTLE'S JJ VS. KIDS CO-ED
Each track is built for where your child is right now. Here's how the two programs compare — and why the difference matters.
LITTLE'S JJ
Ages 3-6
Movement fundamentals & guided mat control
Class Length
40 minutes
Focus
Movement & Terminology
- A 40-minute class built around how young kids actually learn — short bursts of focused play.
- The emphasis is on movement, coordination, body awareness, and the vocabulary of Jiu Jitsu.
- Kids get comfortable on the mat, learn the names of positions and concepts, and build the habits that make technique easier later.
- Less about strategy and more about feeling at home on the mats — the foundation everything else is built on.
Class Times
KIDS CO-ED
Ages 7+
Live drilling, games & sport jiu jitsu prep
Class Length
55 minutes
Focus
Technique, Games & Sport Prep
- A 55-minute class where kids learn real technique through structured games and live drilling.
- We teach positions, submissions, and escapes in a way that keeps it engaging — technique absorbed through play, not lectures.
- Students begin sparring in a controlled, coached environment and start working within a sport Jiu Jitsu rule set.
- This is the track that prepares young grapplers for competition and the next stage of their development.

Community & Culture
Teammates First. Respect Always.
MORE THAN JUST MOVES
FRIENDSHIP, RESILIENCE & CHARACTER ON THE MAT.
Kids don't just learn escapes, guard passes, and sweeps here — they learn how to win with humility, lose without giving up, and look out for their training partners.
Safe, Encouraging Atmosphere
Zero tolerance for bullying, egos, or reckless rolling. Every child is celebrated for effort and progress.
Lifelong Friendships
Training partners become real friends who support each other through hard rounds, belt milestones, and everyday life.
ON THE MAT IN ACTION
LIVE ROUNDS, REAL DRILLS & MAT ENERGY.
A look inside our kids classes at 10th Planet Torrance — from stance drills and slap-bump handshakes to live wrestling, turtle breakdowns, and guard submissions.
Clinch, Pummel & Balance
Learning body awareness, framing, and head control before the fight hits the mat.
Plank Games & Reflex Drills
Building core strength, balance, and quick reflexes through high-energy mat challenges.
Lineup & Partner Rotation
Safe rounds with different training partners to build versatility and camaraderie.
Back Takes & Turtle Breakdowns
Applying seatbelt grips, hooks, and weight distribution without needing raw muscle.
Closed Guard & Submissions
High guard mechanics, arm traps, and learning when to tap and reset cleanly.
HOW WE TEACH
TECHNIQUE THROUGH PLAY.
Kids don't learn Jiu Jitsu by sitting still and listening. They learn by moving, playing, and solving problems with their bodies. Our curriculum is built around that — turning the fundamentals of no-gi grappling into games and drills that keep young grapplers engaged while they build real skill.
LEARN THROUGH GAMES
We teach positions, escapes, and control through structured games that disguise repetition as play — so technique sticks without it ever feeling like a drill.
SPARRING & SPORT
In Kids Co-Ed, students start controlled sparring and train within a sport Jiu Jitsu rule set — the path toward competition and the next stage of their game.
BUILT FOR THE AGE
Little's JJ keeps it to 40 minutes of movement and terminology — the right dose for 3-6 year-olds. Kids Co-Ed runs 55 minutes for kids ready to go deeper.
COACHED & SAFE
Every class is led by our kids coaches in a controlled, welcoming room — safety first, with the structure kids need to grow.
