RGA Kids Program

Build Character Through Jiu Jitsu

Most parents do not bring their child to Jiu-Jitsu because they want a fighter. They come because they want their child to be:

Confident.
Focused.
Respectful.
Resilient to handle the hard moments in life.

That is exactly what the RGA Kids Programme is designed to develop.

On the mat, children learn to move with purpose, solve problems under pressure and work with a partner toward a shared goal.

Off the mat, those lessons show up in the classroom, in friendships and in the way a young person carries themselves when things get difficult.

RGA Kids Program

Little Kids (Age 4-6)

At this age, Jiu-Jitsu is introduced through movement, guided play and structured curriculum to build physical coordination, listening skills and early confidence in a safe space. Coaches are trained specifically to work with very young children to make every child feel capable from their very first class.

Juniors (Age 7-10)

Junior classes introduce Roger's foundational positions progressively, building technical understanding alongside the physical skills to apply it.
Students learn to shift their mindset from panicking to staying calm, understand the situation and respond accordingly using techniques and strategy. This becomes one of the most valuable things a child can develop for their future self.

Teens (Age 11-15)

The Teens Programme gives young people a space where they develop leadership skills, such as accountability, resilience and composure under pressure. The classes follow the RGA curriculum at a level of technical depth that teenagers are ready for, faster paced, more demanding and connected to the Adults Programme that follows.

Why Parents Choose RGA

Safety is Our Priority

Every RGA Kids class is run by a certified instructor trained to coach young students effectively.

Controlled drilling, supervised sparring and a coaching culture that prioritises each child’s physical and emotional wellbeing are standard across every affiliated academy.

Your child will be pushed but they will never be put at risk.

A Clear Purpose for Every Class

The RGA curriculum is progressive and consistent. Our classes do not repeat the same indefinitely. We move through a structured pathway that develop life skills and encourages personal growth over time.

Every session has a clear purpose. Our instructors know where each student is and where they are heading.

Friendships Forged on the Mats

— Discipline
— Respect
— Consistency
— Accountability

Children absorb the culture of the environment they spend time in.

The friendships, the shared commitment and the culture of an RGA academy are as much a part of the programme as the technique.

Children who train together hold each other to a standard and look out for each other in a way that is genuinely rare in modern society.

— You are welcome to watch.
— The instructor will check in with you directly after class.
