More than martial arts
Building confidence, discipline, and focus.
Youth Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at Montgomery BJJ is about more than martial arts.
Since 2017, we have been helping children in Montgomery Township and Somerset County build confidence, discipline, and the ability to stand up for themselves — both physically and mentally. This program is designed for children who:
- Need confidence
- Struggle with bullying
- Benefit from structure and discipline
- Want a positive outlet for energy
- Need a safe place to grow
Bully-proofing through skill and confidence
Practical self-defense, with self-control.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gives children tools that go beyond physical techniques. Through training, kids learn:
- How to stay calm in stressful situations
- How to control their bodies and emotions
- How to protect themselves with control
- How to carry themselves with confidence

Every class
Taught with care, intention, and supervision.
Our focus is always on safety, self-control, and awareness. Kids’ training emphasizes listening and attention, respect for instructors and peers, body awareness and coordination, and confidence with self-control. This often leads to improved behavior, focus, and self-esteem outside the academy as well.
Questions
Before your first class
What will my child learn?
Kids learn how to stay calm in stressful situations, how to protect themselves with control, how to listen, focus, and follow instructions, and how to carry themselves with confidence. Classes are structured, supervised, and focused on positive development — not chaos.
What ages do you teach?
Tots 3–5, Kids 6–9, Juniors 10–13, Teens 14–17, Adults 18+ and Masters 40+. The youngest students start at 3.
Is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu safe for beginners?
Yes. At Montgomery BJJ, safety is built into the structure of every class. Beginners are guided step by step. Techniques are taught slowly and clearly. Training is supervised at all times. Intensity increases only as understanding improves. You are never expected to already know anything.
What happens in a first class?
You’re greeted at the door by Professor Miguel or one of our coaches. After a five-minute warm-up you’re paired with our most senior student, so you get personal instruction even in a large class. Every move is walked through in detail, and class ends with a cool down and a breakdown.
Do you use belts?
Yes. We follow the IBJJF ranking system, and classes run from fundamentals to all-levels and advanced.
