Revolution Youth Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - Martial Arts for Kids

Revolution Youth Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Wrestling

Our youth program is the ultimate way to get your child on the path to success! REVOLUTION was the first and only school in Central Arkansas to offer separate youth programs specializing in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Kickboxing, and Athletic Development for Kids. As a member of Revolution your child can elect to do just one program or join both programs.

Youth in our Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Wrestling program will be learning all aspects of takedowns and “ground fighting”, with application for self defense as well as for sports including: Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Grappling, Free Style Wrestling and MMA. Recent statistics show that almost 90% of self defense scenarios end up on the ground. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu allows children to build self defense skills that can help them, should they have to defend themselves on the ground. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is also one of the fastest growing Martial Arts and most sought after self defense systems. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is great for children in that it does not rely on a person's size or strength to be utilized properly. Children can grasp BJJ drills quite effectively in that they are taught in a way that is natural for them and most importantly fun. Youth in this program will be able to utilize takedowns, positional control, positional escapes and reversals, submissions, submission escapes, and how to disengage a fight and return to the feet.

Each class will also incorporate specific drills to help your child's overall athleticism. Having over 30 years combined in martial arts, athletic training, and professional sports, our instructors know from experience that in order for your child to successfully defend himself or herself, he/she must be able to perform the moves we teach with proficiency. We also realize that this is an area that is often neglected by other martial arts programs. Having a solid foundation in general athleticism allows your child to be able to perform the techniques taught correctly and effectively and use them to their benefit in competition and/ or self defense. The athletic drills we perform will also carry over, helping your child have the edge in other sports such as soccer, baseball, etc. We stress the importance of healthy living through athletic development, healthy eating, and mental preparation.

The central theme to our program is to teach your child the value of hard work and overcoming adversity. We believe that all things are possible through hard work and dedication. Our program offers short term and long terms goals for you child, teaching them valuable lessons about goal setting, planning, hard work, emotional development and overcoming obstacles. Martial Arts will have a positive impact on your child’s well being and self- esteem, and we encourage children to build healthy friendships through martial arts. These lessons will have a huge carry over to other areas of your child's life.

So what are you waiting for? Come join the fun TODAY.

"Seeing my shy, timid girl get out there and win a match at her first jiu jitsu tournament ranks as one of my top parenting moments ever. Initially, we had hoped that this program would boost her self-confidence. It's done that, and much more! A heartfelt thanks to the entire Revolution team for helping Tessa discover that she is strong and brave, after all." - Tawni Haley
