Kids BJJ Classes

Our kids BJJ and martial arts classes in Canterbury help children build confidence, discipline, fitness and practical skills in a fun and supportive environment. Silverbacks MMA offers structured training for children aged 5+, with experienced coaches teaching Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and grappling techniques while encouraging teamwork, respect and personal development.
Kids BJJ Classes for Different Age Group
Our kids BJJ programme is divided into age groups so children can learn and develop alongside others at a similar stage. We offer classes for ages 5–7, 8–10 and 11–15, with each session tailored to suit the age and ability of the group. Younger children focus on movement, coordination, listening skills and the fundamentals of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, while older children develop more advanced techniques, fitness and practical grappling skills. All classes are taught in a positive, structured environment where children can build confidence, discipline and teamwork while having fun and progressing at their own pace.
Benefits of Kids Martial Arts
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gives children a fun way to stay active while developing confidence, discipline, coordination and problem-solving skills. Our classes encourage children to listen, learn, work with others and challenge themselves in a positive training environment.
A Safe and Supportive Environment
Our coaches create a friendly, structured setting where children can learn at their own pace. Whether your child is completely new or already enjoys training, our classes are designed to support long-term development.

Children learn the fundamentals of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, including movement, positions, escapes, control and age-appropriate submissions. Classes combine technical coaching, partner drills and practical training to keep children engaged while steadily developing their skills.
