KIDS Martial ARTS

Our Story

At N-Flux, we honor the rich history of No Gi Jiu-Jitsu while adopting a progressive, ecological approach to training our young practitioners. Inspired by the evolution of grappling from ancient Greek Palé to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and the innovative 10th Planet system, our program integrates diverse styles such as Judo, MMA, and various forms of wrestling. While we are NOT a 10th Planet affiliate, the 10th Planet system guides us, and we are grateful for our collaboration with 10th Planet Black Belts JM Holland and Zach Maslany.

What to Expect

Our kids' jiu-jitsu classes are designed to be inclusive, welcoming children of all skill levels. Everyone from beginners to more advanced young athletes will find a place on our mats. We focus on:

  • Building Confidence: Kids develop the confidence to handle various situations through realistic and engaging self-defense scenarios.

  • Promoting Health: Regular training encourages a healthy lifestyle, helping children understand the importance of physical fitness.

  • Mental Growth: Our classes foster strategic thinking, problem-solving skills, impulse control, and focus, essential for personal development.

Ecological Training Approach:

  • Realistic Drills: Children participate in dynamic, game-like scenarios that mimic actual jiu-jitsu matches, and self-defense scenarios, helping them learn to adapt and respond to real-time cues.

  • Exploration and Creativity: Kids are encouraged to experiment with different concepts and strategies, promoting innovation and personal growth.

  • Task-Oriented Learning: Training focuses on specific objectives, such as escaping from holds, blocking strikes, or maintaining control, allowing kids to explore multiple solutions and develop versatile skills.

  • Safety First: We prioritize the safety of our students through:

    • Controlled Environment: Techniques are practiced in a controlled manner, and sparring sessions are closely supervised to ensure safety.

    • Protective Gear: Students must use mouthpieces and appropriate attire to prevent injuries.

What to Bring

Children should wear a shirt covering their shoulders and a mouthpiece for their first class. If they do not own a rashguard, any snug-fitting shirt with sleeves will suffice.
