Introducing Our Kids' Jiu-Jitsu Program at Rising Tide Hi Tech

Our program focuses on creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment where children can learn, grow, and develop both physically and mentally.

Our experienced instructors are trained to work with children of all ages and skill levels, ensuring that each student receives personalized attention and guidance. Our curriculum emphasizes the fundamental techniques of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, including self-defense, grappling, and ground fighting. We also incorporate essential values such as respect, discipline, teamwork, and perseverance, which not only help our young students become better martial artists but also contribute to their overall character development.

In addition to learning the core principles of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, our Kids' Jiu-Jitsu Program promotes physical fitness, coordination, and flexibility.

Rising Tide Hi Tech offers two programs for children, which focus on bully prevention using Gracie/Brazilian Jiu Jitsu techniques. The two programs are:

• Little Sharks (ages 5-9): Perfect age for children to start in this program is when they can tell the difference between their right and left hands. 
• Juniors (ages 9-13): Children at this age are given more complex techniques to master that help them develop the foundation for more advance concepts as they progress. 

In both programs, students learn the three “T”s of self-defense. The three “T”s are: 

• Talk: handle conflict with their words 
• Tell: tell an adult about the situation. 
• Tackle: use their Jiu-Jitsu techniques to de-escalate a situation

Little Sharks (ages 5-9): 
We use partner drills and games to keep our younger students engaged and active. We keep them moving to help develop situational awareness and reflexes.

Goals: 

• Improve coordination and movement; 
• Instill positive values including confidence and self discipline; and 
• Develop the student's self-defense fundamentals such as takedowns, positions, and transitions. 
• Little Sharks classes include: 
• A 10-minute active warm up; 
• Scrambling games; 
• Standing distance management with a takedown; 
• Ground technique training (pins, escapes, sweeps, and submissions); 
• Controlled grappling matches or "rumbling"; and 
• A closing game. 

Juniors (ages 9-13): 
In the Juniors classes, much more time and focus are placed on drilling compared to the younger Little Sharks students. This additional level of discipline allows us to show a greater variety of moves and techniques as we dive deeper into the realities of defending against more aggressive opponents. 
The three “T”s of self defense - Talk, Tell, and Tackle - continue to be emphasized, along with conversations about leadership, teamwork, and camaraderie. 

Goals: 

• Improve coordination and movement; 
• Instill positive values including confidence and self discipline; and 
• Develop the student's self-defense fundamentals such as takedowns, positions, and transitions. 
• Juniors classes Include: 
• High paced warmups; 
• Standing distance management with a takedown and one variation; 
• Ground technique training (pins, escapes, sweeps, and submissions) with one or more variations; and 
• Controlled grappling matches or "rumbling".
