Kids Program

Helping children develop physical literacy in fun and exciting ways

 

Dear Parents,

Imagine offering your child a path not just to success, but to becoming their best self.

Welcome to Gentle Human, where jiu jitsu isn't just a sport—it's a journey of transformation.

Our BE, DO, HAVE Philosophy:

BE - First, we shape identity. Who must your child become to achieve their goals?

DO - Next, we cultivate actions aligned with that identity.

HAVE - Finally, we celebrate the natural results of being and doing.

This counters the "have, do, be" mentality plaguing society—the idea that having the right things leads to doing what we want and magically becoming who we aspire to be. At Gentle Human, we know better.

Jiu Jitsu: A Mirror to the Soul

  1. Authentic Self-Discovery: Seeing themselves clearly, perhaps for the first time.

  2. Skill Mastery: Transforming the unknown into the known through dedicated practice.

  3. Character Forging: Building resilience, faith, and discipline that extend beyond the mat.

Children often don't recognize their potential in jiu jitsu at first, seeing it as "hard" or "impossible." We teach them to embrace challenges, not avoid them, revealing strengths they never knew they possessed.

We believe in depth over breadth. Our program allows children to truly immerse themselves in jiu jitsu, developing transferable skills like problem-solving, adaptability, and emotional regulation.

Our Culture: Faith, Trust, and Competition

  1. Faith: We believe jiu jitsu works, first on us (mentally/spiritually), then for us (physically).

  2. Trust: Our strong community allows us to push boundaries and grow together.

  3. Competition: Provides essential context for truly understanding and applying jiu jitsu.

We're not for everyone. Our approach suits families who value deep engagement, understand jiu jitsu's unique benefits, and prioritize quality coaching.

Why Now?

As parents, we often unknowingly pass on our limitations. Jiu jitsu at Gentle Human offers a powerful antidote, helping your child strip away these barriers and embrace their true self.

Strong. Powerful. Technical. A superhero!

Imagine your child:

  • Approaching challenges with excitement

  • Understanding that who they ARE determines what they can ACHIEVE

  • Radiating quiet confidence born from true self-knowledge and hard-earned skill

This isn't a fantasy. It's our daily reality at Gentle Human.

Join us. Let's embark on this journey of authentic transformation together.

Remember: Life rewards those who put in the work to BECOME.

BE the change. DO the work. HAVE the life you've earned.

Welcome to Gentle Human. Welcome to true transformation.
