Martial Arts for Kids in Centennial

Easton Centennial runs two kids programs, and between them they take children from four through thirteen. Parents arrive here for all sorts of reasons — a child who needs an outlet, a child who is being pushed around at school, a child who has tried three sports and stuck with none — and the room is built to take all of them. You do not need to know anything about martial arts to start, and neither does your child.

Centennial's kids classes are taught by Nick Reid, a black belt training since 2008 who teaches the beginners and the advanced Tigers alike. He describes himself as quite introverted, which is worth knowing if the child you are bringing in is too — and what he says he is for is simple: “to be the best coach I can possibly be, and to help our students reach their maximum potential.”

Age Groups

Which Age Group Is My Child?

Kids train with kids their own age and stage. A coach places your child on their first day — you do not have to work it out in advance.

Ages 4–6

Little Tigers

Where a four-year-old starts. Foundational movement, coordination, and a class shaped around a short attention span — structure they can actually hold, and enough play that they want to come back. This band is Jiu Jitsu; striking starts at seven.

Ages 7–13

Tigers

Real technique and real progression, and from seven both programs at Easton Centennial are open. Kids at this age can train Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, or both — they are on the same mats, with the same coaches and the same expectations.

Your First Class

The Day You Walk In

The three things parents actually ask at Easton Centennial before they book.

01

What drop-off actually looks like

Come a few minutes early. Somebody has your child's name before you arrive — a coach meets them at the edge of the mat, walks them on, and introduces them to the students they will be working with. A loaner Gi or loaner gloves are already at the desk, so there is nothing to buy first.

02

Can I stay and watch?

Yes, and on a first day we would rather you did. You are welcome at the edge of the mat for the whole class. You are also not expected to stay — plenty of parents drop off, and plenty stay every week for years.

03

What if my child is shy?

Most first-timers are. The opening minutes go on your child rather than on the curriculum, and they are paired with a student who already knows that looking after your partner is the job. Nobody spars on day one, and nobody is made to do anything they are not ready for.

What Centennial Parents Say

304+ Google reviews · Easton Centennial

Easton Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is an incredible place for families! The coaches are amazing patient, supportive, and truly dedicated to every student. My son has autism, and we take him five days a week. The environment has been so welcoming and understanding. What really makes Easton stand out is how family-oriented they are.

The team at Easton is super welcoming and helps you feel like you belong from the first day!! It’s been a fabulous thing for my son, age 9, to do BJJ. He gets challenged, he can see his progress, he gets exercise, makes friends, AND he gets help with self-control, decision-making, respect and other great life skills!!! I highly recommend the BJJ coaches at Easton!!!
