Build Confidence. Develop Discipline. Have Fun.
Our kids programs are designed to develop the whole child — physically, mentally, and socially — in a structured, supportive environment they'll love.
Find the Right Fit for Your Child
We separate our kids by age group so every child trains with peers at the same developmental stage.
Little Champs
Our Little Champs program introduces young kids to the fundamentals of BJJ in a fun, age-appropriate environment. Classes focus on basic movements, body awareness, listening skills, and building the confidence that carries into every area of their life.
Class Schedule
Youth Champs
Youth Champs is for older kids ready to develop real technical BJJ skills. Classes become more structured and technique-focused, building on fundamentals with more advanced concepts. Kids in this program often discover a love of competition and begin representing the academy at tournaments.

More Than a Martial Art
Parents tell us the changes they see in their kids go far beyond the mats.
Bully-Resistant Confidence
Kids who train BJJ develop a quiet, grounded confidence. They know they can handle themselves — and that changes how they carry themselves everywhere.
Focus & Discipline
BJJ demands attention and structure. Kids who train consistently show measurable improvements in focus, self-control, and the ability to follow through.
Respect & Sportsmanship
Every class begins and ends with a bow. Kids learn to respect their coaches, their training partners, and themselves — values that stick for life.
Physical Fitness
BJJ is one of the best full-body workouts available. Kids develop strength, coordination, flexibility, and cardiovascular fitness — all while having a blast.
Social Skills
Training together builds friendships fast. Kids learn to communicate, cooperate, and support each other in ways that carry over into school and life.
Competition Ready
For kids who want to compete, we have the most competitive youth team in East Tennessee. We'll prepare them thoroughly and support them every step of the way.

Straight from Our Families
Real reviews from parents whose kids train at Seymour BJJ.
After being here for about 3 months, I can confidently say coach Jon is an amazing BJJ instructor. He is so great with the kids but keeps them accountable for their own success and actions which is super important in this sport. I have noticed such a difference in my son as far as attitude and discipline since starting.
My son has been going here for over 2 years and he absolutely loves it. The coaches are amazing with kids and create such a positive, supportive environment. We've seen a big boost in his confidence and skills. Highly recommend!
SBJJA is one of the absolute best things in our lives! The coaches, the environment, the other students — there is nothing about this place that is not wonderful! These guys are over here changing lives!
