Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is my 2 year old child too young for martial arts training?

    No, not at all! Preschool jiu jitsu is specifically designed for 2.5-5 year olds, taking into consideration their unique physical and cognitive development. Our program is tailored to their abilities, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience.

  • Will my child be able to follow instructions at this age?

    Yes, our certified instructors are experienced in working with young children and use age-appropriate teaching methods to ensure your child can understand and follow instructions. We create a supportive and engaging environment that encourages participation and learning.

  • How will Martial Arts benefit my child's development?

    In our Little Warriors Martial Arts classes, we keep an average class size of just 15-20 students.



    This smaller class size guarantees that our devoted instructors can offer personalized coaching and direction, enabling your child to progress and excel in martial arts at their own speed. Additionally, the tight-knit community of fellow students ensures a supportive and stimulating learning atmosphere.

  • Is Martial Arts safe for my young child?

    Absolutely, Little Warriors Martial Arts is designed with safety as a top priority, focusing on age-appropriate techniques and exercises. Our experienced instructors are trained to create a nurturing and secure environment where children can learn and grow confidently.

  • Does my child need to be athletic to do martial arts?

    Our classes are tailored towards accommodating students regardless of their weight, age, abilities, or energy levels. Astonishingly, many of our students have tried sports and other athletic activities only to realize it’s not for them. Martial arts is often a sanctuary in these cases as competition is eliminated and each student only attempts what they feel comfortable doing.

  • Are these classes just for boys or can my daughter do it?

    There are a lot of girls in many of our classes as there are boys. Girls love martial arts just as much, and get the same fulfillment out of it as boys do. Also, girls are just as tough as boys in our classes. Some are even tougher! So you don't have to worry about your little girl getting hurt, or feeling scared because she'll be practicing with boys. In fact, the boys may even be the ones who are scared.
