Parents Training

Train while your kids train: moms and dads on the mat

Parents Training lets moms and dads in Boca Raton take a Jiu-Jitsu class at the same time their children train, in the same academy. Instead of waiting in the car, you learn self-defense, move your body and share the same language of Jiu-Jitsu with your kids.

Busy families rarely get time for themselves. Scheduling a parents class parallel to the kids classes turns pick-up time into your training time. Classes are open to beginners, so you can start even if you have never trained.

Families who train together tend to talk about Jiu-Jitsu at home, practice what they learned and cheer each other at belt ceremonies. Our lounge is also a comfortable place to work or relax if you prefer to watch your children.

Training next to your kids

Adults and children train in separate classes, each with its own instructor, so you can focus on your own learning while your kids are supervised. If you prefer to watch, the lounge is a comfortable spot. Tell us about any injury so the class can be adjusted for you.
