Program Overview
Young Champions is our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program for students ages 7–14, based in Bonaire, GA — the bridge between early childhood fundamentals and serious martial arts development.
At this level, training becomes more technical and more demanding. Students build on the foundational movement and habits developed in Little Thrashers — or establish them from scratch if they’re joining for the first time. Classes introduce real positional awareness, problem-solving under pressure, and the discipline required to improve consistently over time.
The 3 A's — Attitude, Ability, and Attendance — remain the framework. The expectations grow with the student.
