Program Pillar Values

There are so many activities your child could try—so what makes martial arts, especially jiu-jitsu, different? Sure kids get better at their grappling skills, they learn how to safely throw, control and submit their opponent. Which, of course, is tremendous for self-defense. But jiu-jitsu goes far beyond the physical benefits.

We help families achieve behavior changes that will stay with kids into adulthood and forge them into exceptional humans. This is why our program has four pillars.

“Kids learn how to stay calm and focused even when under pressure—skills they can use during tests, arguments, or real-world situations.”

Warrior Spirit

Kids build strong grappling skills for self-defense.

Personal Growth

Jiu-jitsu promotes discipline, respect, and focus.

Physical Fitness

Our program creates lasting behavior change beyond the mat.

Life Skills

Jiu-jitsu promotes discipline, respect, and focus.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the age groups?​

Little Eaglets: 4-6 years old. 

Junior Eaglets: 7-9 years old. 

Senior Eaglets: 10-14 years old. 

Of course, almost half of the 130 kids in our program are siblings! We make sure that they can train at the same time!

While the youngest age for our programs is 4. Sometimes we will let kids join at 3.5 provided that they are big and mature enough to participate in the classes. The primary thing we are looking for in the youngest group is the ability to pay attention for the duration of the class, which is roughly 45 minutes. 

 

Please call the gym to talk to our Kids Program coordinator and potentially schedule a trial. 

Here at Legion, our classes go beyond typical martial arts training—we use dynamic, jiu jitsu-based warm-ups to build coordination, balance, and body awareness from day one. Through fun, structured technique lessons and safe, controlled sparring, your child will not only learn how to defend themselves, but also develop focus, respect, and resilience.

 

At the end of class, selected kids will be promoted with one of two different stripes. 

 

 

The short answer is as many times as possible. If that means once per week, that’s a whole lot better than zero times per week. 

Most of the kids in the program train 2-3x per week, which is great for consistent development. 

The most dedicated kids often do even two classes per dayy.
