Kids Programs Built for Elkridge Families
Elkridge is a growing community with a lot of young families, and Rising Tide Hi Tech’s youth programs are built with that in mind. For kids aged 5 to 7, the Little Sharks class provides an age-appropriate introduction to movement, discipline, and basic grappling concepts. It’s structured, positive, and designed for kids who have never set foot on a mat.
Kids from 7 to 13 train in Junior BJJ, where real technique gets introduced and starts building over time. Beyond that, Rising Tide offers Kids Muay Thai, Kids Boxing, and a dedicated Kids Competition Class for those who want to test themselves at tournaments. These aren’t watered-down programs. The instruction is serious, and the results show.
