Our vision is to build a clear pathway for every child who trains at Grange.
Each age group has its own focus, with every stage building towards the next, ultimately preparing our kids to progress into our adult programme and continue their road towards black belt.
As co-owners and head coaches, we’re committed to leading this pathway ourselves and investing in the long-term development of the next generation at Grange.
For our 4–7 year olds, our focus is on helping the children learn how to learn while building confidence and resilience. We emphasise active listening, following instructions, and supporting teammates through feedback.
Our classes introduce core Brazilian Jiu Jitsu positions, basic point-scoring, simple takedowns, sweeps and guard passing in an age-appropriate way.
Classes comprise a gymnastics-style warm-up, stand-up and ground technique drills, and structured grappling games with clear objectives.
Specific / full sparring follows, allowing children to experience both winning and losing. We support children in handling setbacks positively, showing respect no matter what, and winning with humility.
For our 7–12 year olds, we build on the foundations developed in our younger classes, introducing more structured training while keeping sessions fun and engaging.
Children learn a wide range of techniques, progressing from takedowns and fundamental positions to more advanced guards, sweeps and controlled submissions. We place a strong emphasis on teamwork and being a good training partner with this age group, while encouraging independence during drilling.
We use specific grappling games to develop understanding, followed by both situational and supervised sparring, allowing students to apply what they’ve learned in a safe and controlled environment.
Our teen classes are designed for ages 12-16.
We help students build confidence, discipline and real self-defence skills. Teens can either start as total beginners or graduate from our 7-12s’ class.
Class structure parallels adult classes to ensure the best possible skill development in a safe environment. Classes comprise a movement-based warm-up, stand-up and ground technique, position
