Kids program overview
Meet Sensei Sandy
Your child starts in a calm, structured room where every drill is coached, every partner is matched thoughtfully, and parents can see the process.
What parents can notice
Confidence you can see in the room
The goal is not a vague promise to “build confidence.” It is helping your child handle small, real moments with more control.
Stop on a tap
Recognize a partner’s signal, stop immediately, and restart with care.

First small-group class
Your child joins the Youth small-group class with coach guidance. They will practice safe falling, learn positional control, and work cooperatively at a controlled pace.
What Happens During Class?
Students do not spend class watching long demonstrations or repeating movements without resistance.
Each class progresses through:
- Movement connected to the day’s problem
- Chest-to-chest control and escapes
- Chest-to-back control and escapes
- A neutral guard game
- Coach-controlled resistance rounds
- A brief review
Sandy changes the partners, starting positions, scoring rules, and resistance level so beginners and experienced students can learn safely.
