What Is Growing Gorillas?
Growing Gorillas is a child development curriculum that uses kids Martial Arts and Yoga to raise children into healthy, happy, and confident adults. Kids of all ages and abilities become independent thinkers and passionate leaders while learning to navigate life’s challenges.
Our Teens (13-15 years) is the fifth and final step in our Growing Gorillas program, following our Juniors (9-12 years).
Teens 16+ graduate to our adults programs, be it Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Mixed Martial Arts, Yoga, or Boxing.
Faster Growth For Young Minds
Our gym is your child’s new favourite place! They’ll be making friends, playing games, and growing in confidence as they overcome the challenges set by our world-class instructors.
Once they’re comfortable here we can start to introduce games around Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) skills and work from there to build their ability to control their body effectively and defend themselves.
They’ll be challenged and supported every step of the way. In overcoming the challenges we set, your child will build courage, initiative, integrity, and resilience.
Teaching Your Child to Overcome Anything
The most important thing that martial arts will teach your child is to be consistent, that they can overcome anything if they keep working at it. This lesson is so powerful because it’s felt from the very beginning, it becomes fully ingrained.
In our Juniors classes we focus on teaching your child how to:
- Learn how to set goals & follow through with them
- Approach obstacles with a positive attitude & a growth mindset
- Practical self defense skills that can be applied to real life situations
- A consistent, year-round athletics program that makes physical activity a lifestyle while having fun.
These will prove hugely beneficial as they advance their way through life, both on and off the mats.
