Creativity and practicality for your classes.
When there is a clear methodology, children’s jiu-jitsu classes become more organized and enjoyable.
With a structure planned in a technical and playful way, you save time, increase retention, and turn the potential of children’s classes into real growth for your jiu-jitsu school.
The question is: are you already taking full advantage of all the potential these classes can offer?
Teaching childen is challenging
Without a clear structure:
-
Children lose focus quickly
-
Classes become tiring
-
Some students drop out early
Many instructors try to fix this with random games, Instagram ideas, or improvisation — but the class doesn’t flow in the long run.
This isn’t a lack of talent.
It’s a lack of a method designed specifically for children.
Why I created the method
After experiencing these same challenges, I began studying how children learn, testing different approaches, and organizing what truly worked in practice.
The Guarda Kids Method was created to:
-
Structure classes according to age and attention span
-
Make teaching lighter and more organized
-
Simplify the instructor’s day-to-day work
That’s what allowed me to make a living from jiu-jitsu — and today it helps hundreds of instructors keep their classes full and consistent.
Who is this course for?
-
Jiu-Jitsu instructors who want to improve their kids’ classes with new approaches and greater confidence.
-
Academy owners who want to increase enrollments and retain more students.
-
Assistants who help with kids’ classes and want to become full instructors.
-
Parents or guardians who want to teach jiu-jitsu in a playful yet technical way.
Truly practical
Designed for the instructor’s routine:
-
Short, objective classes
-
Immediate application on the mat
-
No mandatory live sessions or fixed schedules
-
Works on mobile or desktop
Those who are just starting find simple, guided activities.
Those with experience gain a ready-made structure, without having to reinvent their classes every week.
More than 430 instructors, in Brazil and around the world, already use the method.
