Kids and Teens Martial Arts Toowoomba
Confidence, discipline and resilience built on the mats. Your child will grow stronger in every way, not just physically.
More than martial arts
At Behan Jiu Jitsu, we are all about helping kids grow stronger in every way. Not just on the mats. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu teaches children how to handle themselves confidently, while building the kind of character that carries into school and life.
"Parents love it because they see their children becoming more confident, respectful and resilient every week."Book a Free Trial Class

First visit
Come along five minutes early. You will be greeted by one of our coaches who will introduce your child to the class and make sure they feel comfortable before training begins.
Classes start with a fun warm up. Games, movement drills and activities that get kids energised and focused without feeling like exercise.
Coaches break down techniques step by step so every child can follow along regardless of experience. Patient, clear instruction is at the core of how we teach.
Kids leave every class energised, proud of what they achieved, and already looking forward to the next one. That is the Behan standard.
For parents
Kids BJJ and Kids Muay Thai start from age 6. Teens Jiu Jitsu is for ages 13 to 17. If your child is close to these ages give us a call and we can advise on the best fit.
None at all. Most kids start with zero experience and that is completely fine. Our classes are designed to bring beginners in gently and build their skills from the ground up.
For the free trial week just comfortable workout clothes are fine. We have loaner gear so there is nothing to buy before you decide to enrol. Once they join, we can help you get set up with the right equipment.
Absolutely. BJJ is one of the safest martial arts for children because it focuses on control, position and technique rather than strikes. Our coaches are experienced with kids and run a structured, safe class environment at all times.
Yes. Parents are always welcome to watch from the sidelines. Many parents enjoy seeing their kids grow in confidence week to week. We just ask that you let the coaches run the class without interruption.
