The kids’ program at Caique Jiu Jitsu is organized by age and experience, with “Young Champions” classes for children as young as five and “Youth” classes for preteens and teens up to age sixteen. Special sessions like the Girls Class and periodic Kids and Parents classes help create an inclusive space for young athletes while involving families in the training process.
