Our GROWING GORILLAS, Kids MArtial Arts Program
Growing Gorillas – Straight Blast Gym’s kids’ martial arts curriculum – combines the discipline of martial arts training with personal development and monthly Life Skills teaching. Growing Gorillas is all about growing stronger, healthier, happier children.
Kids of all ages and abilities at SBG become independent thinkers and compassionate leaders while learning to navigate all of life’s challenges. Growing Gorillas students are separated into three different age groups to accommodate the ever-changing educational needs of your growing child.
Where our 5-9 year olds and 9-12 year olds learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), and our 13-16 learn both Kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
For all age groups, we also set Growing Gorillas Life Skills homework that takes the discipline and respect from their martial arts training and builds those skills into a child’s life at school and in the home.
Our Growing Gorillas program will teach your child:
- How to be confident, assertive, and bully-proof
- How to set goals and follow through with them
- How to approach obstacles with a positive attitude and a growth mindset
- Practical self-defense skills that can be applied to real life situations
- How to make physical activity a lifestyle, through a fun, consistent, year-round athletics program
don't worry about the gear
All you’ll need to start is something comfortable to wear (shorts, yoga pants, t-shirt) and maybe a water bottle.
If you then decide a few sessions in that this is for you, we have an in-house shop for anything else you might need.
Besides that, make sure to remove all jewelry before training to prevent any injuries, and to uphold reasonable levels of personal hygiene (bathing, brushing teeth, trimming nails).
