A Reset Button for Your Child
If you’re worried your child is glued to a tablet, shuts down in real situations, or melts down when things get hard, you’re not alone. We plan for big feelings, with a quiet corner ready anytime your child needs a breather.
This is the easiest way to start martial arts.
The Kids 6-Week Grand Slam Challenge is the dedicated youth version of our Grand Slam program. It’s built for complete beginners who do best with clear steps and gentle structure.
(Note: Most families start with this 6-week program to build habits, then slide into our ongoing After-School program for long-term training.)
On our mats, kids don’t scroll. They bow in, listen, and try again. Through playful, focused practice (what we call “porrada” in Jiu-Jitsu), we teach them to stay present, follow instructions, and keep going even when something feels tricky.
Is this a fit?
- Struggles with focus or big feelings.
- Is shy, anxious, or easily overwhelmed.
- Is "wild" at home and needs boundaries.
- Doesn't click with traditional team sports.
What The Challenge Builds
Respect
Bowing in, saying “yes sir / yes ma’am,” taking turns, and taking care of training partners.
Discipline
Showing up twice a week, lining up on time, listening the first time, and finishing what they start.
Persistence
Trying again after a fall, problem-solving from tough positions, and learning that “hard” does not mean “I quit.”
Bully-Resistant Basics
Standing tall, using a strong voice, knowing when to walk away, and simple, safe escapes if someone grabs them.
Unshakable Confidence
The feeling of having “internal armor” instead of hiding behind a screen.
"This isn’t just another activity. It’s character development you can see week by week."
Most new kids start Mondays & Wednesdays at 4:00 PM in Tannersville so families get a steady after-school rhythm.

Enough frequency to build real habits, without taking over your calendar. You pick your two main days. Make-ups are simple.

How The First Day Works
Save Your Spot
Reserve their 6-week challenge so we can welcome them by name and prepare a smooth first day.
Arrive 10 Mins Early
Comfortable clothes, water bottle, bare feet. We’ll handle the nervous jitters, show you around, and give your child a calm spot if they need a breather.
We Guide Every Step
They learn to line up, bow in, and follow rules in class 1. You won't walk out wondering if they are "falling behind."
