Homeschool Jiu Jitsu for Kids
A P.E. class that fits homeschooling
You already handle the reading, the math, and the science. Let us handle P.E. Our homeschool class runs midday, three days a week, so your kid gets a real workout and a real skill without eating into your evenings or your lesson plan.
It's more than checking a box. Your child spends 1 hour each class on the mats learning jiu jitsu at their own pace, making friends, and burning off the energy that builds up on a school day at home. Parents tell us their kids come home calmer, more focused, and proud of something they did themselves.
Our homeschool jiu jitsu class:
-
Counts toward your P.E. requirement
-
Gives your child regular social time with other homeschool kids
-
Builds focus and self-discipline that carry back to the school table
-
Teaches practical self-defense, taught patiently and safely
Fits your P.E. requirement
One class covers the movement, the exercise, and the skill-building your P.E. hours are meant to include.
Midday, three days a week
Class meets Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday at 2pm. Come all three days or the days that work for your family.
Evening classes too
Our head kids coach, omeschool students can also join our evening kids classes, so your child can train more than three days a week.
Real self-defense, taught the right way
We hope your kid never needs these skills. But knowing how to stay safe, and knowing how to walk away, is something every parent wants for their child.
Our coaches teach jiu jitsu the patient way, at a pace that fits your child. Kids learn how to defend themselves against a bigger kid, and just as important, they learn the self-control to settle a problem without a fight whenever they can. That confidence tends to show up everywhere, not just on the mats.

Martial arts counts as an approved P.E. and physical-activity expense, so your child's mat time is covered. New to how this works? Just ask and we'll walk you through it.
