Kids Jiu-Jitsu

Real jiu-jitsu, taught by a teacher. The after-school activity in Phillipsburg that gets your kid off a screen. They learn to solve problems with their body and their head.

Ages 3 to 5 · Waitlist

Panda Cubs

Thirty minutes, built for little kids. Games, tumbling and the first pieces of jiu-jitsu. They learn to listen, take turns, and they leave tired. The class is full right now, so new families go on the waitlist.

The gym

Taught by a teacher.

Coach Dave has been training jiu-jitsu for 13 years and teaching for 13 years, from preschoolers to senior citizens. That second part is the difference. Knowing a move and being able to teach it are two different jobs.

Seven thousand square feet on Stockton Street. Room for a full adult class and a full kids class without anyone training on top of each other. You get watched, corrected and rolled with. Nobody gets left in the corner to figure it out alone.

  • Beginners are the pointMost people walk in with zero experience. That is normal here.
  • Hard rounds, controlled roomYou train hard and you still go to work Monday.
  • Nobody sits outEvery person on the mat gets time with a coach.

From a member

Ask somebody who walked in cold.

Everyone on this mat had a first class where they had no idea what they were doing. Some of them were nervous about it for weeks first. Hear it from one of them.

Around town

We are part of Phillipsburg.

We run a tap-out challenge at Shappell Park. Stay in for a minute and win a hundred bucks. The mayor and the police commissioner have both held the sign.

Who trains here

Phillipsburg and everywhere around it.

Where people drive in from

Our mats at 224 Stockton St in the 08865 sit about ten minutes from most of Warren County. Members come in from Lopatcong, Stewartsville, Alpha, Greenwich and Pohatcong, and a good number cross the river from Easton and the rest of the Lehigh Valley. If you are within a half hour, you are close enough to train three days a week without it taking over your calendar.

After school, off the screen

Picking an after-school activity in Phillipsburg is harder than it should be. We pull students from the local elementary schools and from Phillipsburg High School, and the 6:05 class is built around the hour most families actually have. Your kid gets moving, gets coached, and comes home tired instead of wired.

Self-defense you would actually use

No-Gi jiu-jitsu is problem solving with your body. Kids learn how to control a situation and talk their way out of one, which is the part that keeps them out of trouble at school. Adults learn the same skills with harder rounds. Nobody needs to be in shape first. You get in shape by showing up.

One gym, every age

Ages 3 to 5 have Panda Cubs, which is full at the moment and running a waitlist. Ages 6 to 12 have kids jiu-jitsu and a competition team for the ones who catch the bug. Teens and adults train together from 13 up, with Muay Thai on Wednesdays and wrestling on Thursdays. Plenty of parents start training after watching their kid do it for a month.

Free week

Train free for a week

A full week, every class you are eligible for. No contract at the door and no sales pitch. Free week covers adults 13+ and kids 6 and up. Panda Cubs is full right now and runs a waitlist instead.
