Vaughan Jiu-Jitsu Academy teaches kids from age 4 in two programs: play-based Kids B1 (ages 4 to 6) and a structured belt curriculum, Kids Levels 1 to 3 (ages 7 to 12). Classes include anti-bullying strategies, and parents receive a quarterly progress report.
Safety first
- No punching or kicking. Kids learn to control, not hurt.
- Partners matched by size and age, with a coach supervising every round.
- Tapping stops any exercise instantly, and kids learn it on day one.
Character, not just technique
Every class follows a student code: full attention on the instructor, respect for training partners and consistent effort. Parents tell us it carries over to school and home.
A real plan for bullying
Confident posture and words first, walking away and telling an adult second, and only if needed, safe control techniques that stop a situation without striking. Read BJJ and bullying.
You'll see the progress
Families receive a quarterly progress report listing what their child covered in class, plus email updates about seminars, gradings and competitions.
From parents
“Vaughan BJJ is truly in a league of its own. I don't think we could have asked for a better place for our son.”
“Our kids have been training here since 2022. Stronger, more confident, and happier overall. It's not just about martial arts, it's about character.”
“My son's confidence grew at VBJJ for competitions and his ability to defend against bullies is evident.”
