CHILDREN’S bjj
Welcome to Nexus!
We are a family-oriented Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and martial-arts academy in Coburg.
BJJ is an energetic, inclusive, and practical sport that children love to play. We offer kid’s training and classes that cater for girls and boys from ages as young as 4 years and older.
Kids approach BJJ like structured play – but it teaches invaluable lessons about how to develop their bodies and minds to defend themselves using technique and position, rather than strength and aggression.
This personal development overcomes fear and builds self-esteem, thereby reducing the likelihood of physical confrontation ever even happening.
To us, this is what winning looks like.
We believe Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a force for good. It builds confident and resilient young people who can calmly assess pressure situations, and act appropriately to a threat when required for self-defence.
OUR INSTRUCTORS
All our kids class instructors and coaches are experienced BJJ practitioners who love to teach children. They are local parents with young kids of their own and hold current Victorian Working with Children Checks.
These coaches are assisted by members of our youth squad to help the children connect with younger role models who have benefited from applying themselves to this rewarding martial art.
Classes are conducted in our large modern training facility, with a focus on learning in a fun and safe environment.
OUR POSITION ON BULLYING
If a situation turns physical however, our BJJ kids are absolutely developing skills to handle this. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a cornerstone martial art of every professional Mixed Martial Art fighter in the world for a reason – it works incredibly well.
OUR KID’S BJJ CLASSES
Together with self-defence, our program works to develop:
- Resilience and confidence

- Strength and flexibility
- Self-control in pressure situations
- Confidence, self-esteem and leadership
