What parents say about our kids classes

"Five stars, easily. My 9 year old started about a month ago and we could not be happier. He is high energy and can be a handful, but the coaches have been incredible with him. So patient, positive, and great at keeping him focused and having fun. Clean facility, friendly and welcoming class, and coaches who clearly care about the kids." - Chris B.

"My 8-year-old daughter had a wonderful experience at this jiu-jitsu club. From the moment we walked in, everyone was incredibly welcoming, patient, and encouraging. It was great to see how quickly my daughter gained confidence and looked forward to every class." - Luisa G.

"We enrolled our daughter in the kids program back in 2024 when she was just five years old and the growth we've seen in her has been incredible. She's more confident, focused, and resilient both on and off the mats. Orangeville BJJ isn't just a gym, it's a community that builds better kids." - Sandeep T.

"I started taking my son (3yo) here a few months ago to the Thursday night minis class (3-5 year olds) and I couldn't be happier. Coach Davina and everyone who helps out with the class is so amazing - their patience with a bunch of (mostly) rowdy boys is unmatched." - Andrea B.

"My daughter was very shy and reluctant when she first started. We brought her back about a year later, and now she loves it. Coach-to-student ratios are ideal, ensuring every child gets the attention they need." - Sandeep D.
