KIDS BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU

Our Kids Program is thoughtfully designed to foster your child's growth and development through the dynamic art of Jiu Jitsu. Wrestling basics are heavily incorporated into our BJJ curriculum to develop well-rounded young athletes, and we offer these classes in two age-appropriate tiers:


  • Ninjas Program (Ages 5-8): Our Ninjas Program introduces young children to the fundamentals of grappling in a fun and safe environment. This youngest age-group learns primarily through engaging drills & matches that build their coordination, focus, and self-confidence.


  • Juniors Program (Ages 9-12): Our Juniors Program builds upon foundational skills, teaching children more advanced techniques, strategies, and the importance of discipline and respect.


In addition to these Ninjas & Junior Beginner Classes, we also offer a very competitive Advanced Kids Program.  These classes focus on more detailed techniques, drills, and high-volume Live Training to push the more experienced young competitors to the next level.

Beyond mastering intricate techniques, students cultivate a potent blend of work ethic, tenacity, discipline, and kindness. These invaluable life skills, honed through rigorous training, extend far beyond the mats, empowering individuals to excel in all aspects of life

Very technical and hard working academy. Dropping in was a wonderful experience. I was treated like a regular member as soon as I walked in.

LITA FLORES

Triangle Jiujitsu is a great place to train at. My Son trained there for a little bit during a transition in school and they very welcoming. They helped him get ready for kids pans. They push the kids to be the best they can and still have fun doing it. If your in the Franklin area and looking for a place to train I highly recommend Triangle.

STEVEN C.

"Training at Triangle Academy of Jiu-Jitsu has transformed my lifestyle both mentally and physically. When I first walked in the door, I wanted to try to have a more active lifestyle, but I quickly fell in love with the sport and the community. The strenuous and rigorous classes challenged me both physically and mentally, pushing me to stay active and engaged. 


Throughout my first 18 months training at Triangle, my life has

drastically changed (along with self-confidence), losing nearly 100 pounds! 


While it may be easy to say the body transformation was all by myself, I can’t. The sense of camaraderie within the Triangle classroom is unmatched. There is encouragement for everyone from everyone to improve their skills and stay committed to their goals.


Triangle Academy of Jiu-Jitsu has significantly improved how I look and feel on a daily basis"
