Mat Munchkin's

Welcome to Mat Munchkins – The Perfect Beginning for Your Young Martial Artist

At both Calvert MMA Academy® and Lineage BJJ®, we understand that the early years are crucial for building the foundation of your child’s future success. That’s why we’ve created Mat Munchkins, a one-of-a-kind program tailored specifically for 3- and 4-year-olds. Designed to engage their minds and bodies in fun, interactive ways, this class is more than just a martial arts program—it’s an opportunity to set your child up for lifelong success.

Why Choose Mat Munchkins for Your Child?

A Program That Fills Fast

Due to our commitment to maintaining small class sizes (6-8 children per session), Mat Munchkins frequently reaches capacity. This ensures that every child gets the personal attention they need, but it also means spots fill quickly. If you're considering enrolling your child, don't wait—contact us today to secure your place or join the waitlist.

The Best Start in Martial Arts

This 30-minute class is carefully crafted to give your child a head start in life and martial arts by focusing on:

• Socialization Skills: Your child will learn how to interact positively with peers and instructors, helping them thrive in group settings.
• Listening and Focus: Mat Munchkins teaches the importance of following directions and staying engaged, essential skills for school and beyond.
• Mobility and Coordination: Through age-appropriate games and drills, your child will develop balance, agility, and body awareness.
• Basic Self-Defense Concepts: While playful and non-intimidating, the program introduces the fundamental movements and principles of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in a safe and supportive way.

How to Get Started

To see if the Mat Munchkins program is the perfect fit for your child, contact us to check availability. If space is open, we’ll schedule your child for a free VIP class. This trial class gives you a chance to ensure our program meets or exceeds your needs and expectations while allowing us to confirm your child is ready for the class environment.

Here’s what your child will need for the trial and every class thereafter:

• Athletic Wear: Comfortable clothing they can move in, such as a T-shirt and shorts or leggings.
• A Drink: We recommend a bottle of water to help them stay hydrated during class.

This trial is a great way for you to see the benefits of the program firsthand while ensuring your child feels comfortable and excited to participate.

Your child’s first introduction to martial arts should be exciting, fun, and positive. Our experienced instructors create a welcoming atmosphere where every child feels encouraged to participate at their own pace. Using games and activities specifically designed for young children, we make learning engaging while teaching the basics of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in a way they’ll love.
