At Big Mike’s Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Oak Harbor, your child will learn real self-defense, focus better at school, and build the kind of confidence that sticks for life—all in a safe, structured, and fun environment.
You’ve tried sports, maybe even another martial-arts program.
But if the classes felt chaotic, your child was bored, or you never saw real change, you’re not alone.
Parents tell us they just want their kids to listen better, stay focused, and build confidence without getting hurt or lost in a crowd.
Our Kids BJJ Program is built around a simple idea... Jiu-Jitsu as a vehicle for life skills.
We keep classes small, structured, and safe, so your child gets personal attention from a patient instructor who actually connects with kids.
New students jump right in thanks to our 26-week rotating curriculum, designed so beginners never feel behind.
They’ll spar from day one, but without the submissions until they’re ready for them, learning positional control first.
Each lesson reinforces our core values. Focus, Respect, Effort, Discipline (FRED). Kids quickly learn that bringing their FRED helps them win on and off the mats.
Every small victory—escaping a hold, mastering a move, earning a stripe—shows your child what real progress feels like.
We teach practical self-defense in a safe, step-by-step way so your child knows how to protect themselves without ever becoming aggressive.
