Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is more than just a martial art—it’s a full-contact sport that empowers children with essential life skills while they have fun and stay active. At Strategy Fight Team Oldham, our kids’ classes focus on grappling and ground fighting, teaching a range of techniques that include takedowns, pins, chokes, and submissions. Recognised as one of the most effective martial arts in history, BJJ is known for its strategic and practical approach to self-defense.
What sets BJJ apart is its ability to teach children how to stay calm under pressure, think critically, and solve problems in real time. As they train, children learn to face challenges head-on, building resilience and fostering a sense of determination and motivation. Our classes encourage teamwork, respect, and discipline—values that extend beyond the mats and into everyday life.
With our structured training sessions, your child will develop strength, coordination, and flexibility while growing in confidence and forming lifelong friendships. It’s the perfect way to get them away from screens and into an environment where they can thrive, learn, and have fun.
Our kids’ classes are designed for children aged 4-13. We create a supportive and age-appropriate environment within the class that ensures each child feels comfortable and engaged.
For the first class, comfortable athletic clothing like a T-shirt and shorts or leggings is fine. Once they decide to continue, we recommend investing in a BJJ gi (uniform), which helps with training and practising techniques.
Yes, safety is our top priority. Our experienced coaches closely supervise each class to ensure techniques are practiced safely. We focus on building skills progressively, so your child can learn at their own pace in a controlled, supportive environment.
Absolutely. BJJ equips children with practical self-defense skills by teaching them how to control and neutralize larger opponents without relying on strength alone. This training can boost their confidence and awareness in real-world situations.
We offer three kids’ classes per week: Monday and Wednesday evenings at 5 PM, and Saturday mornings at 9 AM. The first class is free, and each subsequent class is just £5. Membership options are also available for even better value.
Apart from learning self-defense, BJJ improves physical fitness, flexibility, and coordination. It also instills important life skills such as resilience, discipline, teamwork, and respect. Children who train in BJJ often find themselves more focused and motivated both in and out of the gym.
Signing up is easy! You can create a TeamUp account by clicking the above button, you can then register your child for their first free class, alternatively, please get in touch or turn up to the class a few minutes early and we’ll get you started.
