Salem-Keizer Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy KIDS

09/07/2026

September is here and that means starting a new school year full of new routines and challenges. It’s also a great time to think about activities that can help your child build skills that carry over into school and everyday life.

Jiu-Jitsu gives kids regular opportunities to practice focus, resilience, self-control and self-defense skills while having fun and being part of a great community.

Our fall Jiu-Jitsu cycle starts in October, so if you’ve been thinking about having your child give Jiu-Jitsu a try, this is a great time to get enrolled. 🙂

Every student has a story.

Some walked through our doors shy and unsure. Others couldn’t wait to step on the mats.

Some have been here for years. Others are just beginning their journey.

Each student learns at their own pace. Each overcomes different challenges.

They’re all learning to develop grit, face challenges and stay calm under pressure.

They encourage each other.
They have fun together.
They work hard together.
They grow together.

They are SKBJJ.
