Where kids build confidence, discipline, and friendships, guided by world champion black belts who make learning fun.
Age-specific classes
At Kioto BJJ, we help kids build real confidence through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Our academy is located right here in Oakdale, just off Montauk Highway and close to families in Sayville, Bohemia, and East Islip.
If you’re looking for a clean, family-friendly place for your child to learn, grow, and have fun, our kids BJJ classes offer a clear path forward.
We work with children ages 3 to 16 and group them by age and skill level. This helps every student stay focused, learn at the right pace, and stay excited to come back each week.
Are you looking for a better way to keep your child active, youth programs and help them build essential character skills one step at a time? Then join us here at Kioto Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu South Shore and treat your child to the exciting world of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in our Kids Martial Arts program.
We offer age-specific instruction beginning as young as 3. PLUS, we offer specialized instruction for students with Special Needs.

Our kids BJJ classes are about more than just takedowns and submissions. We teach practical self-defense and build habits that carry over into school, home, and life.

Each class follows a simple, repeatable structure that keeps kids engaged and challenged. Whether your child is shy, energetic, athletic, or brand new to martial arts, they’ll find their place here.
GROWTH & CONFIDENCE
We know how much our young students love challenging themselves and showing off their new skills. We also know how important it is that they master more than just physical tools in our program.

Everything you need to know before starting your journey with Kiotobjj.
Concentrate on mastering the basics and allow yourself to learn without the burden of striving for perfection. Embrace curiosity by actively seeking answers through questions. Seek out a mentor, recognize that this is an enduring dedication, and never regard your inquiries or need for guidance as a nuisance to your mentors.
I wish you all the best as you embark on this path!
You should expect a supportive and welcoming environment at Kioto BJJ, where you’ll engage in warm-ups, learn basic techniques, partner up for practice, and participate in positional sparring.
And don’t forget about learning BJJ etiquette and the importance of post-class hygiene.
In positional sparring, you can evaluate the effectiveness of your BJJ maneuvers by applying them to an opposing partner who resists in real-time, providing insight into how well your techniques perform when faced with resistance.
Open mat sessions are designed to offer a more relaxed setting where BJJ practitioners from various skill levels can hone their techniques and encourage a sense of fellowship among the broader BJJ fraternity.
Ensure you get the most out of your introductory session at Kioto BJJ by keeping an upbeat mindset, actively seeking answers through inquiries, taking initiative to seek a training partner, and avoiding offering unsolicited advice to fellow participants.
Make the most of your moments on the mat and seize every opportunity to absorb knowledge during your class!
