Leverage Beats Size
BJJ is the most studied martial art for smaller-than-average kids. Technique, not strength, decides outcomes on the mat. Students learn that quickly and carry it everywhere.
Lowest Injury Rate In Martial Arts
No strikes to the face, no knockouts, and live rolling is introduced progressively after technique is solid. Most BJJ kids train for years with nothing more than the occasional bump.
A Community That Earns Each Other's Respect
BJJ training requires partners who care about each other safety. Juniors BJJ at our Clovis dojo is a tight, respectful community.
