Jr. Grapplers at Calvert MMA Academy®: Ages 8-13

Building Champions on the Mats and in Life

Welcome to Jr. Grapplers, the ultimate martial arts program at Calvert MMA Academy®, designed for children aged 8-13. Here, your child will embark on a journey of self-discovery, confidence, and skill as they learn the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) under the proud banner of Lineage BJJ® Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.

Why Choose Jr. Grapplers?

Unmatched Self-Defense Skills

The Jr. Grapplers program offers your child practical self-defense skills rooted in the authentic teachings of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. Beyond the mats, these techniques instill confidence, situational awareness, and the ability to handle challenges calmly and effectively.

Success in Competition

While competition is optional, our Jr. Grapplers program prepares students to excel should they choose to compete. In 2024, our team dominated the scene, winning the Maryland State Championships and The Good Fight Submission-Only Tournament, where we earned 1st place in youth and teen divisions. On the global stage, we secured world titles for youth and teens, cementing our reputation as champions. Whether your child wants to compete or focus solely on self-defense, they’ll receive top-tier training that prepares them for any challenge.

This program is more than just martial arts. Your child will develop:

• Confidence: By mastering techniques and overcoming challenges.
