Character development, bully proofing, self-esteem, confidence & focus are some of the benefits your child will cultivate by attending our classes…

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is appealing to kids because it’s so closely linked to the natural inclination for play, tumbling and even rough-housing that children gravitate toward. Our Jiu Jitsu classes are structured, fun and challenging in order to maximise growth and enjoyment so as to equip kids to face the challenges of life head on.

There are many physical benefits to the sport of Jiu Jitsu, however, we see these as only part of the positives for kids in our classes.

Feedback From Parents About
Our Kids Classes

My Son has been doing Jiu Jitsu at Maximillian well over a year now. He is in love with it! The team is phenomenal, they’re very passionate and engaging. There is a great balance in terms of fun, technique, discipline and the actual sparring. The team communicates very well too which is a bonus. All in all, I highly recommend joining and have literally seen students go from strength to strength.

Maximillian has become part of our lifestyle, welcoming our family into theirs. They are diligently focused on providing my daughter with the necessary skills, both physical and mental, required in today’s world. They align their teaching techniques to a narrative easily understood by children. A lot of care and effort is maintained in ensuring all kids have a good experience. Classes are fun, energetic and nurturing. Well done!

My 2 kids started Jiu Jitsu with Maximillian at the beginning of 2024, when they were 7 & 10 years old. They are so excited and always looking forward to their lessons. The two of them speak so highly of their instructors and are learning something new every week! It’s safe and a great place for kids to train.

– MILISA J.
My son has been attending Maximillian for quite some time now, and has learnt so much. The coaches are skilled and the environment is supportive and encouraging.
