Grappling for Autism
We are excited to offer a Kids Jiu Jitsu class tailored specifically for children ages 8-12 on the autism spectrum.
This program is designed with sensitivity to sensory needs and individual comfort levels in mind, focusing entirely on non-contact activities as well as contact activities for those comfortable to build skills in a supportive, low-pressure environment.
In each session, kids will engage in solo drills and shadow techniques to learn foundational Brazilian Jiu Jitsu movements, such as guard positions, escapes, and transitions, without requiring any partner pairing or physical contact unless the students are comfortable with contact.
We’ll incorporate fun, structured warm-ups like animal walks, balance exercises, and coordination games to enhance motor skills and body awareness.
