Kids Jiu-jitsu Classes at Chess Club Kawana

What will your kids learn at Chess Club jiu-jitsu?

Chess Club Jiu-jitsu is a safe and fun environment for kids to develop life skills and learn healthy habits

The ‘gentle art’ of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a combat form that allows your opponent to surrender without being harmed. We apply the principles of pressure, leverage and timing to allow kids to develop greater control of their bodies and to learn a non-violent approach to conflict resolution and bullying prevention.

We teach the seven precepts of Bushido

Justice, Courage, Benevolence, Politeness, Sincerity, Honour and Loyalty.

And, the Chess Club SAMURAI Code:

  • Self Confidence

  • Anti Bullying

  • Mate-ship

  • Unity

  • Recognition

  • Accountability

  • Independence

BJJ is recognised for its impact for developing young minds to practice a Martial Art and aid in nullifying unjustified violence by promoting confidence in a combative environment.

We celebrate each win as a victory and each loss as a lesson not a mistake.

All of this is taught in a safe environment, in our state-of-the-art facility with some of Australia’s top Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructors.

Rafael Miyashiro - Head Coach

“Jiu-Jitsu came into my life by accident, 13 years ago I signed up for a fitness gym that offered boxing classes in the membership. The boxing coach also taught BJJ and invited me to join his class.

It was love at first sight. I became heavily addicted to the art, and Jiu-Jitsu became the number one priority in my life. I have never chased money or success through BJJ, I just aspired to train as often as I could, so the way I figured out to do it was by BJJ becoming my job. 

Why do people become addicted to BJJ? I believe it’s the constant frustration that is involved, which creates the will for constant improvement. It is such a humbling sport where people with big egos don't have a place. The life lessons we learn through martial arts such as discipline, respect, and resilience are the key elements we are building in our community, changing people's attitude towards life in general, in their relationships, work and family. That's how Chess Club makes a contribution to the future of society.”
