Grappling, Confidence, and Control for Ages 7 to 12

Youth BJJ at 805 Combat Sports is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for ages 7 to 12. Kids learn positional control, escapes, and beginner submissions, the leverage-based grappling that lets a smaller person handle a bigger one without striking.

BJJ rewards patience and problem-solving over size and strength. Kids walk away with body awareness, mental toughness, and a calm sense of capability that shows up at school and at home.

What Youth BJJ delivers.

Self-Defense That Actually Works

BJJ teaches kids to control distance, escape worse spots, and end a problem without throwing a punch. It is the most studied grappling art for exactly that reason.

One of the Lowest Injury Rates

No strikes to the face, no knockouts, and live rolling introduced only after technique is solid. Most kids train for years with nothing worse than the occasional bump.

A Tight, Respectful Crew

BJJ only works with partners who look out for each other. The youth room is one of the most respectful, welcoming groups in the building.

How We Build Kids

Built around how kids actually develop.

Every kids program keys in on the four stages of childhood development: Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, and Social. We call it PIES. It is how we structure classes, design drills, and build the relationships that turn a shy four-year-old into a confident kid who walks into school with a quiet sense of who they are.

  • P Physical

    Coordination, strength, control of the body.

  • I Intellectual

    Focus, problem-solving, learning how to learn.

  • E Emotional

    Confidence, self-regulation, handling setbacks.

  • S Social

    Respect, teamwork, friendship across ages.

Before You Sign Up

Common questions about Youth BJJ in Simi Valley, CA.

What is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, in one sentence?

It is a grappling art that uses leverage and position so a smaller person can control a bigger one without striking.

Is it safe for kids?

BJJ has one of the lowest injury rates of any martial art. No strikes to the face, no knockouts, and live rolling is introduced progressively after technique is solid.

Will it help with bullying?

Yes, but not by teaching kids to fight. BJJ builds the calm confidence that makes a kid a less likely target, plus the real ability to control a situation safely if it ever comes to that.

Does my child need a gi on day one?

No. Athletic clothes are fine for the free week. If you continue, we will fit your child with a gi and tell you exactly what to buy.
