My kids attend Jiu-Jitsu at TSMA. The sensei and instructors are very committed to their craft. The students are encouraged to progress through the belt ranks and practice at home because it helps build the right habits for success. One of the best parts of the classes is when the students sit in a circle and the instructors give a brief talk on topics such as the importance of discipline, respecting your elders and always doing your best.

Both of my kids absolutely love coming to this Jiu-Jitsu class. The instructors are not only highly skilled but also incredibly patient, encouraging, and respectful. The owner is very professional and genuinely friendly. You can tell he cares about creating a welcoming and positive environment for everyone.

My son has been attending Jiu-Jitsu classes here, and I have never seen him more focused and excited to participate. The sensei is truly exceptional with children, creating a positive and motivating environment. I love hearing my son, Leo, use words like “discipline” and “consistency,” as well as repeating phrases he learns in class. This program not only teaches self-defense but also instills valuable life skills. Highly recommended!
Wendy A. | Glendale, NY
My daughter has been attending the Jiu-Jitsu classes for almost a year now and she loves it! She’s made friends, and it’s a great outlet for all the energy she has. They teach her respect, friendship, calmness, and how just to be a great. I would highly recommend this dojo to all walks of life!

Great place for the kids who are starting to learn MMA. Very good instructors. Sensei G brings in great energy and technical skills during the classes. My daughter has been going to kick-boxing classes for the last 5 months and recently started her Jiu-Jitsu classes – I can see good progress in her. Highly recommend.
Our Kids & Teens Jiu‑Jitsu program helps children build confidence, focus, and self‑discipline through structured technique training in a supportive, fun environment. And beyond physical fitness — strength, flexibility, coordination — they also learn practical self‑defense skills and a “no‑quit” mindset they can carry into everyday life.
Our Jiu-Jitsu program for young children ages 5 to 7 focuses on building a strong foundation in coordination, listening skills, and confidence — all through fun, age-appropriate martial arts training.
For kids ages 8 to 12, our Jiu-Jitsu program emphasizes practical self-defense, physical fitness, and mental strength. Our supportive instructors guide them through challenging but rewarding training that promotes a “never give up” attitude.
Our Teen Jiu-Jitsu program empowers students ages 13-17 with real-world self-defense skills while building confidence, discipline, and mental resilience. Through dynamic training in a safe, structured environment, teens improve their physical fitness, focus, and problem-solving
Our Jiu-Jitsu curriculum blends Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) fundamentals with real-world self-defense applications. You’ll learn how to control and escape from common ground situations — not just for sport, but for everyday safety and confidence.
Children as young as age 5 can begin (in our Little Tigers class), then ages 8-12 (Tigers) and 13-17 (Teen Tigers). We structure classes by age and ability so each child trains with peers in a safe and engaging environment.
No experience is required. Whether your child is athletic or just getting started, we teach fundamentals first—balance, awareness, coordination—and build from there. The focus is on technique and skill, not raw strength or size.
We recommend a minimum of two classes per week. Many adults like to attend three or more classes per week.
We offer a variety of class times to meet individual needs. Ask about our schedule for more detail.
Beyond self-defense, your child will gain skills like escaping from holds, ground control, awareness, and non-violent conflict resolution. They’ll also improve coordination, flexibility, and confidence.
Children will wear comfortable athletic clothing from Tiger Schulmann’s—leggings and a T-shirt. Since we emphasize no-gi training (no traditional uniforms), this setup allows freedom of movement and safety.
While many kids’ programs focus on striking or kids games, our Jiu-Jitsu training uses leverage and technique so that smaller or younger students can defend themselves effectively. It’s real-world self-defense, not just drills or sport.
As children learn new techniques, earn recognition (belt levels or stripes), and train safely with peers, they build mental toughness, self-control, and respect for others. The “no-quit” attitude is part of the culture.
Adult classes are 45 minutes to one hour. Children, Kids and Cubs classes are 45 minutes.
Yes, we offer a 20% discount for each additional family member. In addition, we offer active law enforcement a 25% discount.
The primary goal is self-defense, discipline and personal growth—but for those interested, there are optional events. However, competition is never required. The class environment remains supportive and non-intimidating.
No. Beginners focus on technique and controlled partner drills before live rolling is introduced. Once you’ve developed a solid foundation, you’ll have the option to spar under supervision — never before you’re ready.
Yes, most of our schools offer private lessons. You can contact the individual location for more information.
