Kids Jiu-Jitsu and No-Gi Grappling
Our Kids Jiu-Jitsu Program at Renzo Gracie Ponce is designed to teach children the fundamentals of Jiu-Jitsu using both the traditional uniform (known as the Gi) and without the uniform (No-Gi Grappling), ensuring they are prepared for any grappling situation. Alongside learning these essential skills, children will improve their behavior, focus, and ability to follow instructions while building confidence, discipline, and respect. They will also enhance their physical coordination, develop teamwork, foster resilience, and learn problem-solving and conflict-resolution skills in a positive and healthy environment.​​​​

Program Ranks
At Renzo Gracie Ponce, we follow the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation's (IBJJF) ranking system for our Kids Jiu-Jitsu Program. All children begin at the white belt level and will progress through the ranks based on their class attendance, consistency, behavior, and most importantly, their development of grappling skills.
This structured system ensures that each child is recognized and promoted fairly, providing them with a clear path for growth and achievement both on and off the mats.
