Frequently Asked Questions
How is safety addressed in kids grappling classes?+
Wrestling and submission grappling are physical contact sports, and like any sport, there is always some risk of injury. We take that seriously. Our instructors emphasize proper technique, controlled training, and respect for training partners. Classes are structured around age-appropriate instruction, with coaches supervising drills and live grappling to help students learn how to train responsibly.
Does my child need experience?+
Not at all! Our Kids Luta Livre program welcomes children with no previous martial arts or wrestling experience. Our instructors teach the fundamentals step by step, helping each child develop their skills as they progress. Children who already have wrestling experience are welcome too! Our program gives them an opportunity to build on what they've learned while developing new skills in submission grappling.
What should my child wear?+
Your child should wear comfortable athletic clothes, preferably a fitted T-shirt or rashguard and athletic shorts without pockets, zippers, or buttons. Our Luta Livre classes are taught without a traditional martial arts uniform, so no gi is needed. Bring a water bottle, and we'll help your child get started with everything they need to know for their first class.
