Raíz Beginner Kids Team — September

We’re looking for 10 Eagle River kids, ages 7–12, who have never trained Jiu Jitsu before.

They’ll all start together. They’ll learn together, train together, improve together, and have the opportunity to compete together as a team.

Not every kid loves football, hockey, soccer, or the traditional team sports. Some kids just need to find their thing.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu builds confidence, discipline, fitness, self defense skills, and teaches kids how to stay calm and work through difficult situations.

And because this is a brand new beginner group, nobody is walking into a room where everyone else already knows what they’re doing.

*BACK TO SCHOOL SPECIAL!*

To celebrate the start of the school year, we’re offering our Back to School Special!
**Enroll in a month to month youth membership during the month of August and receive a FREE official Raiz Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Gi ($150 value).**
The school year is almost here, and there has never been a better time to give your child a skill they’ll carry for life.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu isn’t just about learning self defense. It’s about building confidence, discipline, respect, resilience, and something many kids struggle with today, emotional regulation.
Every class teaches children how to stay calm under pressure, solve problems, work through challenges, and develop confidence that carries into school, sports, and everyday life.
At Raiz, your child will be taught by Head Instructor Mateus, who has dedicated his life to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. With a lifetime on the mats and a passion for teaching, he’s committed to helping every child grow, not just as an athlete, but as a confident, respectful young person.

Only the first 20 new students will receive this offer. Once the 20 gis are gone, the promotion is over.
No experience is necessary. No contracts. Just a welcoming environment where beginners are encouraged from day one.
Send us a message today to schedule your child’s free trial class.
Confidence. Discipline. Emotional resilience. It all starts with that first step.

What a night! Our first belt promotion ceremony was an incredible milestone for Raiz Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

Every person promoted tonight earned it. Their new belt reflects the level they already demonstrate on the mats through their technique, consistency, and character. At Raiz, those three things matter equally, and we won’t promote without them.

We also believe that belts should represent where you truly are in your journey. Our responsibility is to honestly recognize growth, not delay it.

Congratulations to everyone who took the next step tonight. We can’t wait to watch you grow into these new belts.

Raiz’s first Promotion Ceremony is Monday, August 3rd! Come celebrate the hard work, sweat, and progress our students have put in on the mats. Belts don’t come easy… they come from getting tapped, getting back up, and showing up again the next day. Frankly, every one of these promotions is overdue. We’re very proud of this crew and excited for the future.

Happy 4th everyone!  We’re closed for the holiday, but come get some rounds in on Sunday at 3PM!

This Father’s Day, we’re trying something that we feel is missing for most of us right now.

One of the best parts of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is that dads and kids can do it together. It’s one of the few activities where a parent and child can learn the same skill, overcome challenges together, and share the same journey.

So next week, dads train free with their child at Raiz Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

No experience required. No obligation. Just come try a class and see what we’re all about.

Whether your child is confident and outgoing or needs a little help coming out of their shell, Jiu Jitsu teaches discipline, respect, problem solving, and confidence.

If you’ve been thinking about trying something new with your son or daughter, now is the time. Less screen time and more family time is always a win.
