Junior Warriors — Kids Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Ages 9–15

Unlike striking-based martial arts, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu teaches your child how to control a physical situation without throwing a punch. The result is a kid who feels safe in their own body — and is far less likely to either be bullied or to become a bully.

Memphis-area parents see the change at home first: better posture, more eye contact, fewer meltdowns over little things. Teachers in the Shelby County and DeSoto County school districts have told us the same thing.

Structured warm-up, one clearly demonstrated technique, partner drilling, and positional games that reinforce the lesson. Sixty minutes of focused movement with coaches who correct constantly and praise effort.

Every class ends with a quick lesson on the values behind the technique — respect, control, and knowing when not to use what you've learned.

We don't promise to turn your child into a fighter. We promise to give them the physical and emotional tools to walk away from most conflicts — and to handle themselves if they can't.

We work with parents across the Memphis metro to reinforce the same message at home and at school.

Junior Warriors meets Tuesdays and Thursdays, 5:20pm–6:20pm. We're 15–25 minutes from East Memphis, Germantown, Collierville, Cordova, Bartlett, Olive Branch, and Southaven — and several of our families happily drive close to an hour each way.

Every Junior Warriors membership includes a free gi, so there's nothing to buy before your child's first real class.
