Kids BJJ Classes in Barrow-in-Furness | Ages 7+
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for kids aged 7 and up at LOBO BJJ — Barrow-in-Furness's only dedicated BJJ academy. Confidence, discipline and fitness, built in a fun and safe environment by qualified coaches.
Why Parents in Barrow Choose BJJ for Their Kids
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is grappling — no punching, no kicking. Kids learn how to control a situation without throwing a strike, which is why it's one of the most effective anti-bullying tools there is. A child who trains BJJ learns to stay calm under pressure, stand up for themselves, and walk taller — on and off the mats.
- Confidence — kids learn to handle pressure and trust themselves
- Anti-bullying — practical skills to stay safe without violence
- Discipline & respect — structure, focus and good habits every session
- Fitness — they'll be too busy having fun to notice they're exercising
- Friendship — a team environment that feels like family

Frequently Asked Questions
What age can my child start?
We take kids from age 7 upwards.
Does my child need any experience?
No. Most of our kids walked in having never done a martial art before. Our coaches build everything from the ground up.
What should they wear to their first session?
Shorts or leggings and a t-shirt is perfect to start. Once they're training regularly, they'll need a GI (uniform), which you can get directly from us.
Is BJJ safe for children?
Yes. There's no striking in BJJ. Classes are structured and supervised at all times, and techniques are taught progressively at a level appropriate for each child.
