Me & Baby Toddler Jiu Jitsu

What this class is

The class everyone asks about: real jiu jitsu, shared with your toddler. Held on the mats of IJS International Jiu Jitsu School, this session lets your little one join the training and learn their very first moves — rolling, balancing, crawling, falling safely — while you move, play and bond together.

It's not a spectator class. You're on the mat too: workout, play and bonding rolled into one hour that toddlers genuinely look forward to. No martial arts experience is needed for either of you.

What to expect

• Playful warm-ups built around natural toddler movement — crawling, rolling, balancing
• First jiu jitsu foundations for your child, taught through games
• Partner exercises where you and your toddler work together
• Confidence, coordination and body awareness that carry over far beyond the mat

What to bring & wear

• Normal sportswear is perfect to start — training is barefoot on the mats
• Water for both of you, and whatever your toddler usually needs
• Want the real thing? Get matching BJJ kimonos for you and your little one at our own Kano Kimonos Cyprus store (or the international store)
