Stonecoast Brazilian Jiu Jitsu For Kids

Stonecoast Brazilian Jiu Jitsu For Kids Stonecoast Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is the first gym in Maine teaching Brazilian Jiu Jitsu by high level

SBJJ’s Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program will arm your child with a host of positive mental and physical skills that will help him/her in school, at home, and in life! As your child learns to succeed, you’ll see a new kind of discipline emerging, the kind that will positively affect all areas of his or her life. You’ll notice an increased respect for others, but most importantly, for him/herself. On the

mat your child will experience many challenges and obstacles that will connect with their outside environment and make them unstoppable when faced with difficulties in life. Watch your child’s energy, confidence, and spirit rise while he or she becomes strong and confident. We’re not just talking about physical strength, but the kind of strength it takes to resist peer pressure and other negative situations they may face in their lives.

They’ll never remember another afternoon spent scrolling.
But they’ll remember the summer they discovered what they were capable of. 💪🏽💪🏽

Summer goes by fast. Endless scrolling gives quick hits of dopamine that disappear just as quickly. Jiu-jitsu offers something different: challenge, confidence, resilience, friendships, and a sense of accomplishment that lasts long after class is over.

This summer, trade screen time for mat time. Build healthy habits, learn practical skills, and become part of a community that pushes you to grow.

Come see why so many kids and adults call the mats their favorite place to be. 🥋☀️

On Monday we learned the side choke, and here’s how the class went.

We started in side control, working on staying heavy and stable on top before introducing the details of the choke. The focus was on positioning first, keeping good base, controlling the head and arm, and making sure partners stayed safe and comfortable the entire time.

Once the structure was in place, the students learned how to slowly apply the technique using proper grips, body alignment, and steady pressure rather than strength. We emphasized control, patience, and understanding what the position is supposed to feel like before trying to “finish” anything.

After drilling it step by step, the kids practiced with partners, taking turns and learning how to adjust small details like hip pressure and hand placement to make the technique work.

Another great class building confidence, discipline, and real technical understanding on the mats. .

🟢 New students are always welcome, come on your own or bring someone along.

Dodgeball days at Stonecoast = beautiful chaos, laughter, and kids giving it their all 😄

No one’s really keeping score… it’s just about dodging, throwing, teaming up with your friends, and somehow ending up on the floor laughing.

These are the moments they’ll remember - running around, a little wild, a little competitive, and completely in it.



Stop by after school to try a free class, come on your own or bring someone along.

Zigzag Hops

This one looks simple, but it’s a favorite.

The kids jump from hoop to hoop with both feet, working to stay steady and in control. When it turns into wild jumping (which it always tries to 😄), we slow it back down and find that rhythm again.

That’s really the whole point.

They’re learning how to notice when they’re rushing… and how to bring themselves back.

It builds balance, coordination, and strong movement but more than that, it helps them feel in control of their bodies instead of all over the place.


We’ll take slow and steady over fast every time. 💪🏽

It takes a special kind of coach to work with the youngest athletes. The patience, the calm tone, the way he slows things down and meets his young athletes at their level truly matters. The kids definitely feel it. They’re more at ease, more willing to try and are way more confident in themselves.

That steady guidance from our coach Kory goes beyond just learning moves, it’s helping shape how they handle challenges, how they show up, how they keep going even when something feels hard. This steady and consistent kind of impact sticks with them far beyond the mats.
