With BJJ academy locations in Schererville and Portage, Indiana, our students train in a positive environment built around technical instruction, live training, and a proven Kids BJJ curriculum developed over decades through a respected lineage of instructors.

Our Kids Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program serves families throughout Northwest Indiana and gives every student a clear path to progress at their own pace. Whether your child trains for confidence, fitness, self-defense, or competition, our curriculum is designed to keep them focused on the right techniques at each stage of development.

KIDS BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU

Our Kids Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program follows a specially designed curriculum developed over more than two decades of experience. Because every child learns differently, students are given the opportunity to progress at their own pace while building confidence, discipline, and leadership skills. Along the way, kids improve their fitness, make new friends, and develop pride in their abilities. For students who want to compete, Corral’s also provides a strong path into BJJ tournaments at the regional and national level.

Kids BJJ is a great way to build confidence, discipline, and self-esteem while staying active and having fun. Train with friends, learn new skills, and grow both on and off the mat.
