Kids BJJ (Ages 8–13) in Syosset, NY
Kids BJJ
(Ages 8–13)
Structured Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for school-age kids and preteens. Builds real technique, discipline, and confidence in a professional training environment.
Program Description
Classes for ages 8–13 move beyond game-based learning into real technical instruction. Kids at this age are ready for structured drilling, positional training, and age-appropriate live rolling with training partners their size.
This is where BJJ starts to click as a martial art. Kids learn positions, escapes, and submissions in a clear progression, and the curriculum is paced so every student feels challenged but never lost. The confidence boost from genuinely learning a skill is something parents notice immediately.
We don't tolerate bullying, ego, or excessive roughness, ever. The mat is a place where every kid is looked out for and every kid is expected to look out for their partners. That culture is non-negotiable, and it's what makes Telos different from programs that let competitive kids run wild.
For kids who eventually want to compete, we have a clear path. For kids who just want to train hard, get fit, and build character, the path is just as clear. Both are equally valued at Telos.
