About Kids & Teens
SASSOM Kids is for both kids and young teenagers, the youngest we accept into class is 7-years old, when they are ready to start grade 2 at school. Our programs help develop coordination, agility, balance, speed, power, and strength. SASSOM Kids focuses on helping your child become bully proof while not becoming the bully. We do this by teaching them awareness and responsibility, we encourage self confidence, respect, positive attitudes and a strong work ethic. If needed the kids that train at SASSOM will have the practical self defence skills to help keep them safe.
The Classes:
At SASSOM Kids we teach Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) and Kickboxing / Muay Thai.
BJJ is a Martial Art and combat sport that optimises the use of leverage, takedowns, locks and holds to neutralise an opponent. In self-defence or sport the emphasis is on taking an opponent to the ground, gaining a dominant position, and using a number of techniques to force them into submission. BJJ is very effective against larger, stronger and heavier opponents. A typical BJJ class starts with line and partner drills, followed by a technique lesson, then sparring which in BJJ is often called rolling. Equipment: BJJ Gi
Kickboxing & Muay Thai are also Martial Arts and combat sports they use techniques like punches, kicks, Knees, elbows and clinching to over power an attacker or competitor. A typical class starts with skipping, strength (push ups, sit ups, squats) and shadow sparring, followed by a technique lesson, then light touch contact sparring. Equipment: Boxing Gloves & Shin Guards
Both Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Kickboxing / Muay Thai are the perfect Martial Arts for self defence.
Getting Started:
At SASSOM we offer a one week no obligation Free Trial, this gives yourself and your child time to see if we are a good fit for you. During the Free Trial we will lend any equipment needed to participate in class. All children develop differently, and some may need to be a little older, so we are always happy to offer another free trial at a later date if your child was not ready the first time.
Sport:
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is not just a style of Martial Arts is is also a sport, we encourage the kids to give BJJ competition a go. BJJ Competition is a great way for the kids to test their skills, but more importantly it is a great way for them to build resilience, character, and sportsmanship.
Kickboxing and Muay Thai is also a sport, however we do not encourage kids to compete as we wish to limit head contact at such young ages. It is possible for kids to compete in MMA which combines BJJ & Kickboxing under the IMMAF (International Mixed Martial Arts Federation) rules for youth competition, the IMMAF rules do not allow strikes to the head. If MMA competition is something that your child and yourself are interested in please talk to Marcus about this.
Helping To Mould Strong, Confidant Youth:
Training at SASSOM is about social interaction, we understand that this age group is vulnerable to external peer pressure and negative social environments. We help combat this with confidence, respect, and positive attitude. We encourage kids to building a strong work ethic in training and also in school.
Transitioning To Adults Classes:
When children start to mature between the ages of 13-16 they have the option to trial the adults classes, most do this during their school holidays. They can make the transition to adult classes when they, and you the parent feel comfortable. There is no rush or pressure (we will encourage when we think the time is right) to move to the adults classes. We have had a young lady have her 17th birthday while still training in the Kids Classes, and a few months later she made the change to the adults classes.
