At Team Octopus Chamblee, our Kids Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program is designed for ages 3–13 and helps children build confidence, discipline, coordination, fitness, and real martial arts skills in a fun and supportive environment. We offer three age-specific classes—ages 3–4, 5–7, and 8–13—so kids can learn at a pace that matches their age and development. All classes are beginner-friendly, and no previous experience is necessary. We also offer No-Gi classes for ages 7–13, giving students the opportunity to train in a faster-paced style that focuses on body control, grips, and practical self-defense without the traditional gi.
Our ages 3–4 class focuses on balance, agility, listening skills, discipline, and basic BJJ techniques through fun, age-appropriate drills. Ages 5–7 take the next step by continuing to build strong fundamentals while being introduced to more advanced techniques and controlled live-action training. Our ages 8–13 students work on both fundamental and advanced techniques with more live training, helping them develop confidence, problem-solving skills, and the ability to apply what they learn in real situations.
Safety and individual attention are a major part of our program. Each class typically has 2–3 instructors on the mat to help guide students, provide personal feedback, and maintain a safe and structured training environment. Kids also learn valuable skills like teamwork, respect, sportsmanship, focus, and how to stay calm and work through challenges.
Kids Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes at Team Octopus Chamblee run Monday through Thursday, with additional classes on Saturday mornings, making it easy for families to find a consistent training schedule. For students who want to test their skills, we also host three In-House Kids Jiu-Jitsu Tournaments each year. These events give kids a fun and familiar way to showcase what they have learned and experience competition if they choose to participate. Whether your child wants to compete, learn self-defense, stay active, make friends, or simply build confidence, our program gives them a positive place to learn and grow.
