Yes. Jiu-Jitsu is one of the best martial arts for self-defense. Without knowledge of ground fighting, you may vulnerable to a larger opponent. With this knowledge, however, you should be able to defend yourself against a larger attacker. Just be sure you’re attending a self-defense oriented academy rather than tournament oriented academy.

During the free-week trial, the friend’s legal guardian must accompany him/her on their first trip to sign the waiver. After that, your child’s friend can come without their guardian.

At his discretion, the head instructor will move a child from the kids’ class to the adult class after the child meets one of the following criteria:

1) The child is physically big enough.

A child may be twelve years old but if he or she weighs 125 pounds—which is as heavy as a small adult—they can attend the adult class. At this point, they are too big for the small kids.

2) The child is old enough.

A child may weigh 115 pounds, but at fifteen years of age they are old enough to participate in the adult BJJ class without being disruptive.

If either condition is met, the head instructor usually approves the transition.
