Monster Kids Classes in Hallandale Beach, FL

Monster Kids is our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program for children ages 8 to 12. It picks up where Little Monsters (ages 4 to 7) leaves off: kids learn real grappling technique, how to control a training partner safely, and how to stay calm under pressure.

Every class follows a familiar structure so kids know what to expect: a warm-up built around movement and coordination, technique taught step by step, partner drills, and supervised live training. The week mixes Gi classes, in the traditional Jiu-Jitsu uniform, with No-Gi classes, so kids learn both sides of the sport.

Jiu-Jitsu is a sport kids can grow with for years. It teaches them to handle bullying with confidence and control instead of striking, builds focus and respect on the mat, and gives them a team of friends who push each other to improve. The program runs at MMA Monsters under Head Coach Valdir Araújo, a BJJ black belt and veteran of UFC's The Ultimate Fighter.

No experience is needed. Start with a 1-week trial and see if your child loves it.
