THEORYJIU JITSU
Kids Program

One of the strongest youth programs in the country.

We believe Jiu Jitsu is one of the best tools for helping children build confidence, discipline, focus, resilience, respect, and problem-solving skills.

Theory is home to some of the top youth athletes in the country, including the number one ranked thirteen-year-old female in the world for 2025 in her weight and belt under IBJJF rankings. Our kids program is structured, engaging, and age-appropriate — kids build friendships, confidence, and character while learning real, high-level Jiu Jitsu.
