Kids Drop-In Questions

Everything You Need to Know

Get answers to common questions about kids drop-in training at Journey BJJ Academy in Madison

Will my child get to practice techniques with other kids?

Yes! Kids classes include technique practice, fun games, and age-appropriate positional training. We focus on building confidence, coordination, and basic self-defense skills in a safe, supportive environment.

What's the atmosphere like for kids classes?

Our kids classes are fun, encouraging, and focused on building confidence. We create a positive environment where kids learn respect, discipline, and teamwork while having a great time. No strict military-style training here - just good instruction with plenty of encouragement and fun!

What should my child wear to drop-in classes?

Clean athletic clothes work fine for their first class. We have loaner uniforms available if needed. Your child should bring a water bottle and wear indoor flip flops or crocs for moving around the facility (they train barefoot on the mats). No competitor branded uniforms allowed.

How much does a kids drop-in class cost?

Each kids drop-in class is $25. Payment is due when you arrive. You'll also need a completed waiver with parent/guardian signature before your child can participate.

What should my child bring to class?

Bring flip flops (often forgotten!), a water bottle, and a positive attitude. Arrive 10 minutes prior to the 4:30 PM class start time.

Do you want to know my child's experience level?

Yes, please text us in advance and let us know your child's belt rank and experience level so we can recommend the best approach for their visit.

What are the hygiene requirements for kids?

Kids must be fresh and clean with trimmed fingernails and toenails. This is important for everyone's safety and hygiene on the mats. We maintain very clean facilities and expect the same from our students.

When are kids drop-in classes available?

Kids classes are ONLY available Monday through Friday at 4:30 PM. We don't have weekend kids classes or other time slots for drop-ins. Classes run for 45 minutes.
