A Real Foundation in the Essentials of Self-Defense
Each Friday focuses on a different combat skill so kids get exposure to the four building blocks of real self-defense, finishing with an MMA day that brings them all together.
Parents drop their kids off for the full two-hour session each Friday. The coaching team handles structure, safety, and supervision, so you can plan around the program with confidence.
Every participant gets a program t-shirt to train in, a catered snack lunch each day, and a Certificate of Completion at the end. Non-members also receive a 10 percent discount on their first 3 months of membership.
Built for Real Skills, Not Just Summer Filler
If you are looking for something more than a generic summer activity, the Jits 56 Kids Summer Program gives kids a real introduction to combat sports under coaches who teach this every day at Jits 56 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Each session balances technique work, drilling, and play, so kids leave each Friday a little stronger, a little more confident, and a lot more capable of handling themselves.
The program runs four consecutive Fridays from 1:00pm to 3:00pm: May 29, June 5, June 12, and June 19. All sessions are held at our facility at 10253 Sawmill Pkwy, Powell, OH.
Drop off, pick up, and let our team handle the rest. Spots are limited so kids get focused attention from the coaching staff each week.
Every Friday focuses on one piece of the self-defense puzzle: striking, takedowns, grappling, and finally a culmination MMA day where the kids put all three skill sets together.
Coaches keep the pace lively, the technique correct, and the safety standards high so kids walk out energized and ready for the next session.
Every kid in the program gets a program t-shirt to train in, a catered snack lunch each Friday, and a Certificate of Completion at the end of the four weeks.
Non-members who finish the program also receive a 10 percent discount on the first three months of membership at Jits 56 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu if they decide to keep training with us.

Working through striking, takedowns, and grappling alongside other kids is a fast way to bond. Training partners become friends quickly when you are learning together.
Whether your child is brand new to martial arts or has trained before, they will fit in and find others at their level at Jits 56 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
More Than Just an Activity
The Jits 56 Kids Summer Program is more than four fun afternoons. Your child walks away with real movement skills, more body awareness, and a clearer sense of how to handle themselves under pressure.
Drilling combat sports builds strength, balance, and coordination. Kids leave moving better than when they walked in, with technique they can keep using.
Working with a partner in real time teaches kids to stay calm, listen to coaches, and adjust on the fly. These habits carry over into school and everyday life.
There is no substitute for actually practicing the skills. By the final MMA day kids have proven to themselves they can do it, and the confidence sticks well past the program.
