Check out the ISOHEALTH Timetable for the Kids BJJ Classes
Children deserve the best possible start they can get which is why ISOHEALTH put a lot of work and research into providing a well-rounded Kids Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) program for your child!
Suitable for ages 5-13, our ISOHEALTH Kid’s Program has been carefully designed by Matt Jones in conjunction with our current staff of Chris Perez, Nae Semmens and Symon Calverley.
In addition to coaching many successful grapplers for many years Matt also has:
- Masters Degree in Sports Coaching where his topics of study included pedagogical
approaches for children in sport, Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) and mechanisms of
injury in sport - Consulted in spine rehab for over 20 years
- Served as Subject Matter Expert (SME) in Spine Rehab for a number of elite organisations
within Australia - Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS with the National Strength & Conditioning
Association) - Cert IV in Mental Health First Aid
- Former Grappling Coach for Port Power AFL Team
With that knowledge as a framework we aim to provide your children with the safest and
most effective martial arts training possible.
BJJ is the ultimate art for children to learn as it places emphasis on gaining control over one’s adversary without reliance upon punches and kicks. Although BJJ is often referred to as the gentle art, it is arguably one of the most effective martial arts for self defence on the planet! BJJ will enable your child to gain the confidence they need to protect themselves in the school yard without resorting to striking their peers.
Kids BJJ is not only great for self defence for your child, but also can benefit your child by:
- improving their fitness;
- increasing their self-esteem and confidence;
- building discipline and persistence; and
- developing healthy social skills and respect for others.
Class Times
- Tuesday 4:30pm-5:30pm;
- Thursday 4:30pm-5:30pm; and
- Saturday 9:00am-10:00am
Kid’s Class Structure
The new program for kids will feature two instructors for every class. Those instructors will be as follows:
- Tuesday 4:30pm-5:30pm: Matt Jones and Chris Perez
- Thursday 4:30pm-5:30pm: Matt Jones and Chris Perez
- Saturday 9:00am-10:00am: Nae Semmens and Symon Calverley
It will effectively be two classes running side by side as we will splitting the children into ages 5-8 on one side of the mat, and ages 9-13 on the other side of the mat.
There may be instances where a child is particularly big or small for their age or has an unusually high skill level. In extenuating circumstance such as these, the instructor may see good reason to move said child into one group or the other.
For ages 9-13 some submissions will be carefully to the training. Please feel welcome to talk with Matt Jones (our Head Coach) about why certain submissions are included and others are excluded etc.
