Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for ages 5 to 15, in Düsseldorf-Derendorf. The program has not started yet, and we would rather tell you that plainly than let you find out after you have arranged your week around it.
The academy opened in August 2026 with classes for adults. The kids program is the next thing we build, and it is waiting on one thing: the right coach. We are not willing to put children on a mat with someone we settled for, so we are taking the time to find someone genuinely good with them.
That is the whole delay. The mat is here, the curriculum is written, the schedule slot is held. Until the coach is signed there is no start date we could give you that we would be confident in, and a date we are not confident in is worse than none.
The waitlist is how you hear the moment that changes. No newsletter, no drip campaign: one message when there is something real to say.
Prices are not published for a program that has not launched. We will confirm them with the start date.
Coordination, balance, falling safely, getting up again. The physical literacy underneath the martial art, taught in a way that looks like play because at that age it should.
BJJ is the martial art that lets a smaller person control a larger one without hurting them. That is exactly the skill a bullied child needs, and it is why we teach control and de-escalation long before anything resembling a fight.
Competing is a choice a child makes later, if they want it. Nobody is pushed onto a podium track, and nobody is treated as less committed for staying off it.
Any class, any time, no appointment. You do not have to hand your child over to a room you cannot see into, and we would think less of a gym that asked you to.
A six-year-old and a fourteen-year-old do not train together. How the groups split depends on who is actually on the list, which is one of the reasons we ask for your child's age.
Written Code of Conduct, a published infraction system, and a coach who is accountable to both. The rules that protect our adult members were written to protect children too.
We will write to you the moment the program has a coach and a start date, and not before. Nothing else will land in your inbox unless you ticked the updates box.
This is a list about children, so it holds as little about them as it possibly can. In full, what we store is:
The age is an age, not a birthday, because we need to group a class and nothing more. We do not sell or share any of it, and asking us to delete your entry takes one email and no explanation.
The people reading this page are the people most likely to know the right person: a patient, qualified coach with a BJJ or grappling background who is genuinely good with children. If someone came to mind while you were reading, we would like to hear from them.
