Little Kids5 to 7

Both RGADSM kids programs teach kids all different styles of grappling through the practice of universal movements, specific techniques and games-based training. Each month shifts focus for each of these three areas, with techniques taught from the mat and the feet. Safe application of takedowns, pins, escapes and submissions are all explored, with an emphasis on control and partner safety.Kids will learn how to use their bodies for sport and self defense, push themselves physically and mentally, and grow confidence through dedicated improvement of their skills. For ages 5 to 7, that starts with movement, attention and control, taught mostly through games.

Before you come in.

What if my kid is shy or won't participate at first?

That is normal. Coaches let kids watch until they are ready, and most are on the mat by the second class.

Why limited availability?

Small groups keep the coach-to-kid ratio high. Book a free class to check on current openings.
