No new beginners will be accepted into this class and the class will be taught under IBJJF Juvenile rules. Those who fall outside the criteria will will be allowed 1 trial to assess if they are appropriate for the class and will need approval to continue to attend the class (e.g meets age requirement but has minimal experience, younger kids who need extra training for competition etc). New beginners can either attend the 11-15yrs kids class or adults beginners class.

Students between 10yrs and 12yrs can be accommodated in either class depending on the student size and maturity. We can also accommodate siblings together if they are close enough in age.
