What Is Growing Gorillas?
Our Spider Monkeys (5-7 years) is the second step in our Growing Gorillas program, following our Micro Monkeys (3-5 years).
Setting Them Up For Success
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.
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 the Importance of Consistency
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 Spider Monkeys 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.
