Kids Jiu-Jitsu Instructor Development Program

The Kids Jiu-Jitsu Instructor Development Program is designed for Jiu-Jitsu instructors and academy owners who want to build better, more structured, and age-appropriate kids classes.

Developed by Master Leão Teixeira, IBJJF 8th Degree Red-and-White Belt, the program brings more than 30 years of experience teaching Jiu-Jitsu to children into a proven methodology that instructors can learn and apply directly on the mats.

Teaching kids takes more than knowing Jiu-Jitsu. It requires understanding how children learn, how to communicate with different age groups, how to structure a class, and how to create the right technical progression.

The program is organized by age and stage of development.

AGES 3–6

Learn age-appropriate class structure, teaching strategies, movements, techniques, and methods designed specifically for young children.

AGES 7–9

Develop your students through a structured curriculum covering teaching methodology, Self-Defense, and Sport Jiu-Jitsu.

Inside the program, you'll learn how to:

• Structure effective and consistent kids classes

• Teach according to each stage of development

• Improve communication and instruction for children

• Build a clear technical progression

• Integrate Self-Defense and Sport Jiu-Jitsu

• Become a more confident kids instructor

• Build a stronger kids program at your academy

This is more than a collection of techniques. It's a teaching methodology built and refined through 30+ years of real experience on the mats.
