An Ideal Introduction to Martial Arts

Our Chimpanzees groups of 7-8 year olds welcome both graduates from pre-cursors in our Growing Gorillas program and those who are entirely new to Martial Arts training.

For those who are new and unfamiliar with the environment, we recognise that it is most important for them to be comfortable in the gym so they see it as a fun, happy place, where they can make friends, have fun and grow in confidence as they overcome challenges and obstacles within a controlled environment.

From this foundation, we can then work on building general physical literacy through Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with our carefully curated curriculum that stealthily integrates techniques into what appears to be general playtime.

This curriculum uses best practices learned from the 70+ SBG gyms that are located worldwide, each hosting world-class instructors committed to continual learning and improvement.

Now, more than ever before, it is crucial for a child’s development that they develop their physicality through such a curriculum. Many children no longer get the opportunity to learn physical skills that were standard in generations past where it was commonplace to be out climbing trees, playing catch, and chasing one another around.

A Head Start on Crucial Life Skills

It is vital that, from a young age, a child gains confidence and learns how to integrate with a friendship group that they can grow alongside. This sets them up for school now, and the rest of their lives later.

This is what Martial Arts training in an open and friendly environment, like what we offer here at SBG Missoula, offers.

Many parents who start their children later on in our program remark how they only wished they had enrolled their child sooner!

School can be a difficult time for many, as they learn to explore an unfamiliar environment without their primary care giver around at all times. While there are definitely many things to look forward to, there can also be bullies displaying dominating behaviour who make the transition all the more trying.

We give children the skills to handle these situations with measured control and teach them to both lead and protect their peers where possible.
