Kids No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu at American Top Team Atlanta
Our Kids No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu program gives young athletes a fun, fast-paced way to build strength, coordination, and confidence while learning modern grappling fundamentals.
Training includes wrestling, judo, and body-control techniques — taught by experienced coaches who have helped develop top competitors and champions within the ATT legacy.
Who Is This Program For?
This program is perfect for children ages 4 and up who want a faster-paced, more dynamic grappling experience — whether they’re new to martial arts or already training in traditional BJJ. It’s also a great fit for young athletes looking to enhance coordination, body control, and competitive edge through realistic, high-energy training.
What to Expect in Class ?
Kids No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu classes at ATT Atlanta focus on movement, balance, and body awareness. Students start with warm-ups that build agility before drilling takedowns, transitions, and submissions. Without the traditional Gi, kids learn to control opponents using leverage, positioning, and grips based on timing and technique. Wrestling and judo elements are woven into every class, improving athletic ability and confidence in real-world situations.
