Most frequent questions and answers about our Kids Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Program
We find that our students become more confident to stand up to bullies and have more humility and kindness to others through their BJJ lessons.
We don’t require parents to stay during classes. However, we do find that parents who get involved with their kids BJJ lessons, truly build a solid connection as they see their child grow in confidence and skill as they progress through their belt ranks. And building strong family units is important to us at Yorkdale Martial Arts Academy for our York community.
Make sure you wear comfortable clothes you can do sport in! Not really suitable to practice kicks in a skirt.😳

Yes! One of the great things about martial arts classes is that it’s an individual sport, done in a group environment. We find all our students improve in their focus, self control, discipline, and social skills. But the best part is. They don’t even realize that is what our highly trained Kids BJJ Instructors are actually doing. They just think they are having fun!

The path to a black belt—or any form of progress in martial arts—varies depending on the style you’re training in, your consistency, and your personal goals.
In our kids TaeKwonDo and kids BJJ programs, students follow structured progression systems that reward effort, discipline, and skill development over time. While Taekwondo has a more traditional belt ranking system, BJJ promotions tend to take longer and are based heavily on mat time and individual growth.
For adults, the differences are even more distinct. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has one of the longest timelines to black belt in martial arts, and Muay Thai doesn’t use belts at all. Instead, Muay Thai students advance through experience, technique, and physical conditioning.
No matter the style or your starting point, our team at Yorkdale Martial Arts Academy York is committed to guiding you toward your goals—whether that’s earning a black belt, building confidence, or becoming stronger inside and out.
We encourage parents to watch their children in their kids BJJ lessons. We love parents getting involved! And so do their kids. Even better… join into some of our martial arts classes for adults – we offer Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai here in Toronto. Your kids will love that you have something in common. It will build a strong family bond!
Additionally, if you wanted some ‘me-time’? Simply drop them off, and go grab a coffee. They will greet you with a huge smile when you return, because they had SO much fun!
Not at all. You will find that martial arts classes are the PERFECT sport for kids who are not good at sport. Kids Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes really are an individual after-school activity that they do in a group.
The journey from white belt to black belt is different for each student. But what is the same…. They improve coordination, balance, motor skills, focus, and discipline. Plus, they make lots of great friends!
Our instructors are highly skilled in teaching martial arts for kids. Really… It’s their PASSION!
This is probably the BEST kids activity for children who sit a lot!
Getting them active, without them realising they are learning, is our skill. Kicking and punching pads is such a great stress relief, that kids blossom in all areas – because of their martial arts training.
Many York parents find that once their kids start martial arts classes, they see a happier, more social child develop right before their eyes. You’ll be glad they started classes!
PLUS…. Most kids LOVE being ninja!
If you’re looking at adult martial arts classes in Toronto you’ve likely come across Karate, TaeKwonDo, Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), and more. Karate, TaeKwonDo, and Muay Thai focus on striking (punches, kicks, knees, and elbows). BJJ focuses on grappling (wrestling with locks and grabs). It’s important to know how to both strike and grapple for the best self-defense, as in the real world, a lot of fights end up on the ground.
