Unlike traditional team sports, our Kids BJJ classes teach children how to stay calm under pressure, think clearly and problem solve in real time. It’s not about size or strength, it’s about technique, patience, and control. Skills that will remain with them through their lives.

Every class helps your child:

  • Build real confidence (earned, not forced)

  • Develop self-discipline and focus

  • Improve coordination and fitness

  • Learn respect, resilience, and accountability

  • Learn practical self-defence skills

  • Make friends in a positive community

  • Gain resilience that carries into school and daily life

Give your child the tools they need — not just for the mats, but for life.

Our parents tell us they notice improvements not just on the mats but at home and in the classroom too.

FAQs

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is a grappling-based martial art that teaches children control, balance, co-ordination and problem-solving.

Unlike striking martial arts, it focuses on technique and leverage rather than punches of kicks.  Kids learn how to stay calm under pressure, work with partners, and build confidence step by step.

Our kids BJJ classes in Derry are designed to be challenging, structured and fun.

  • Serving families in the community for over 10 years
  • High-quality BJJ training
  • Experienced, supportive instructors
  • Friendly, inclusive atmosphere
  • Children grow stronger physically and mentally
  • A strong sense of belonging

Yes!!  Safety is always our top priority.

Kids BJJ classes are age-appropriate, supervised, and focused on technique and control. Safety, respect, and structured learning are always prioritised.

Instructors emphasise:

    • Controlled training
    • Respect for partners
    • Structured class formats
    • Clear supervision
    • Positive reinforcement

No. BJJ teaches control, balance, co-ordination, technique, discipline, awareness, confidence and problem-solving — not striking or aggression.  It is widely regarded as one of the most effective self-defence systems in the world, focusing on control, awareness and de-escalation rather than aggression. It builds confidence and discipline in a positive, structured setting.

At Team Torres Derry, children can begin Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes from age 7.  Classes are grouped by age to ensure safe and appropriate training.

Classes focus on:

  • Movement and co-ordination
  • Listening and teamwork
  • Fun
  • Confidence building
  • Technical skill development
  • Teaching martial arts
  • Real-world self-defence concepts

No not at all.  Most kids start with zero experience.  Our kids BJJ programme is beginner-friendly, we build skills, co-ordination, and confidence, teaching fundamentals step-by-step. 

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu helps children develop self-confidence, discipline, and emotional control.  Many parents notice improved focus, respect, and resilience outside of class as well.

Absolutely. Many quieter children thrive in BJJ because it is personal and supportive.  They build confidence at their own pace. 

Give your child the opportunity to build confidence, make friends, and learn real skills in a supportive Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu community in Derry.
