Confidence, discipline & fun for ages 5–12 — kids Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) at MKJ Academy in Norman.

At MKJ Academy in Norman, OK, we help kids ages 5–12 build confidence, focus, and lifelong fitness through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). Our kids jiu-jitsu classes are led by experienced coaches in a safe, positive, encouraging environment where every child learns at their own pace. Whether your child is brand new to the mats or ready to compete, our age-appropriate BJJ program teaches discipline, respect, self-control, and how to stand up to bullying — all while burning energy and making friends. Proudly serving families across Norman, Moore, Noble, and the greater Oklahoma City metro.
More than martial arts — we build better kids.
Jiu-Jitsu teaches kids to stay calm under pressure and handle bullying safely — confidence that shows up everywhere.
Structure, routine, and clear belt goals build focus that carries into school and home.
A full-body workout that builds strength, balance, and coordination — and burns a LOT of energy.
BJJ is the art of leverage — kids learn to control a bigger opponent with skill, not strength.
Classes grouped by age and experience so every child is safe, comfortable, and challenged.
Clean mats, close supervision, and a supportive team where kids love to show up.
