Class curricula
Kids' classes begin with a stretching period to prevent injury.
In the introductory phase, the students learn about the values and concepts in Jiu-Jitsu, which form the knowledge base of the martial art. Part of this involves how to act on the mat, how to interact with the instructor and fellow students, how to properly wear the kimono and tie the belt.
The remainder of the class focuses on learning fundamental techniques. The complexity of the techniques is proportional to the progression of the class.
The instructor will show the students how the techniques can be used against a person who is trying to harm them. Students are taught that these techniques must not be used against other children outside of Jiu-Jitsu class. They are only to be used if they are attacked on the street.
