There are no set requirements, please come in and try any of our classes for up to one week free before signing up.

What should I wear to class?

We do not have a required uniform but we do ask that you wear clean form fitting rash-guard and shorts or a kimono where necessary. No zippers or buttons and we prefer no pockets.

That said, if you do not have the proper gear we won't let that stop you from trying a few classes.

JIU JITSU FOR KIDS

The kids at Rutland American Jiu Jitsu Academy learn lessons on the mat that they will likely carry with them throughout life, while having lots of fun.

Jiu Jitsu can help teach the value of hard work, perseverance, and respect for themselves and others. It also improves physical fitness, strength, flexibility, and coordination. It teaches valuable self-defense skills, boosts self-confidence, and promotes mental well-being by offering a sense of belonging amongst a team.

We offer kids classes twice a week (Monday & Wednesday 4:30pm-5:15pm). Ages 4-12 welcome.
