At Pirate BJJ in Madison, Alabama, we're thrilled to offer specialized Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes tailored for pre-teens aged 10 to 12. Our program provides an exciting opportunity for young grapplers to delve into the world of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, mastering essential techniques while building camaraderie with their peers in a supportive environment. Led by our fearless instructors, our pre-teen classes focus on the fundamentals of grappling and rolling. Children learn a variety of techniques, including arm bars, side mounts, and our favorite turtle position, as they explore the intricacies of controlling and submitting their opponents. They also delve into spider guard and closed guard, mastering the art of defense and offense from various positions on the mat. But Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu isn't just about learning techniques—it's about developing valuable life skills that will serve children both on and off the mats. Through structured drills and exercises, pre-teens learn the importance of discipline, focus, and perseverance.

They discover the power of resilience in the face of challenges, learning to overcome obstacles with determination and grace. And perhaps most importantly, they forge lasting friendships with their fellow grapplers, fostering a sense of camaraderie and sportsmanship that will stay with them for years to come.
