Juniors Beginners Class
The students will learn how to break fall if they are attacked without harming themselves.
They will also learn how to take up a suitable defence should they find themselves on the ground.
The grades for the juniors beginners class start off with Red belt and progress to Orange Belt black stripe then when the students show that they are ready to grade to full Orange belt they are promoted to the Black Belt Club.
Juniors Black Belt Club
This class is for those students that have progressed through the grading program and have reached the grade of full Orange belt, and have shown maturity and commitment to achieve their ultimate goal of reaching Black Belt.
The students start to learn how to work as pairs with their training partners and are shown awesome self-defence techniques which involve throwing, grappling, striking, and moves that are specially designed for junior students so they can eventually become junior black belts and move on to the senior adult class.

FAQs
- +Will Jujitsu make my child violent?
- No way! In fact, it’s just the opposite. Martial arts makes kids calmer and more respectful than ever. Children who have a positive outlet for their energy, who are taught self-control and who participate in activities that boost their confidence and self-esteem, have proven to be calmer, less prone to violent outbursts and more easily able to resolve conflict without becoming physical. They are also taught to understand that with acquired skill comes responsibility.
Martial arts is about peace, helpfulness and disciplined respect, not violence & disrespect.
- +How often should students attend the class
- We recommend regular attendance of 2 times a week to progress and get the most out of our program. (2 times a week is what we consider perfect attendance). You are welcome to attend as many classes a week as you like
- +Will my child get hurt?
- As a parent, you know that kids can get injured doing just about anything. Martial arts is no different, however we take safety very seriously here. We do everything in our power to avoid injuries. We have excellent instructors and assistants who are ALWAYS keeping a very close eye on everything going on to ensure safety.
Our curriculum is designed to help students achieve their absolute very best, but to also be very aware of their safety.
- +Is it just for boys or can girls take part as well?
- If we’ve learned anything in our years of teaching, it is that girls are just as tough as boys. Many are even tougher! So, don’t worry about your little girl getting hurt, or feeling scared because she’ll be practising with boys – the boys, in fact, maybe the ones who are scared.
- +My Child isn't sporty - will he have a hard time?
- Yes! Martial arts is for athletes and non-athletes alike. In fact, martial arts is often a “home” for kids who don’t excel at team sports. Kids who have trouble in football, hockey etc. often come to martial arts and do extremely well. And it’s okay if your child is not athletic right now. Through our classes, they’ll get in great shape and become very athletic. There are no bench warmers at our club! Just awesome students & families.
- +When is the best time to start Jujitsu?
- Training at TSD is more than just a seasonal sport, it’s actually not a sport at all, but a continuous life-changing adventure, where you & your child will learn to Win at Life. We have new students starting every day, so even if you’re the new student today, someone else will be new tomorrow.
