WHAT IS OUR HOMESCHOOL PROGRAM
Our Homeschool BJJ & Judo program is a daytime martial arts class for children who are educated at home. It gives kids a regular opportunity during the week to move their bodies, learn new skills, build friendships, and take part in a structured group activity in a positive and encouraging setting.
The program includes both Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) and Judo, with separate components across the week so children can experience the strengths of each style. BJJ helps children develop control, leverage, problem-solving, and ground defence, while Judo helps build balance, coordination, movement, and confidence in stand-up grappling.
At High Rollers, we love BJJ and Judo because they do more than just teach martial arts. They help kids build confidence, resilience, discipline, and self-belief in a way that is practical, age-appropriate, and genuinely fun.

WHAT TO EXPECT IN CLASS
A typical class includes warm-ups, movement drills, technique instruction, partner practice, and age-appropriate training activities. We focus on strong fundamentals, safe habits, and helping each child progress at their own pace in a positive and encouraging environment.
If your child is new, that’s completely okay — we’ll help them settle in and learn step by step. If they already train in BJJ, Judo, or another martial art, this program is a great way to keep building their confidence, movement, and all-round grappling ability.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Absolutely. Our Homeschool BJJ & Judo program is designed so children can start with zero martial arts experience and feel comfortable from day one. We use age‑appropriate drills, clear explanations, and step‑by‑step progressions so kids can build skills and confidence gradually.
Coaches know that every child learns differently, especially in homeschool families where routines and activities can vary. We focus on helping new students feel safe, welcomed, and included, and we never expect them to “keep up” with more experienced kids straight away. The goal is steady progress, not perfection.
Brazilian Jiu‑Jitsu (BJJ) and Judo are both grappling arts, but they focus on different parts of the game:
-
BJJ concentrates more on ground grappling — control, positioning, escapes, and submissions. Kids learn how to use leverage and timing rather than strength, and how to stay calm and problem‑solve even when things are challenging.
-
Judo focuses more on throws, takedowns, movement, and balance. Kids learn how to fall safely, how to move with a partner, and how to off‑balance and control someone from standing.
Together, they give children a well‑rounded self‑defence foundation: confidence on their feet, good movement and balance, and practical skills if things ever go to the ground. They also develop coordination, body awareness, and resilience in a way that is engaging and fun.
Yes — this program has been created with homeschool families in mind. Daytime classes give kids a regular weekly routine, while still fitting flexibly around home learning. Each session has a clear structure: warm‑up, movement, technique, practice, and age‑appropriate training, so children know what to expect and can settle into a rhythm.
It’s also a great way to build healthy social connection. Kids train with others, work in pairs and groups, and learn to communicate, listen, and support each other — all within a supervised, respectful environment. For many homeschool families, that combination of movement, structure, and positive social interaction is exactly what they’re looking for to complement home education.
Yes. We offer a free trial so your child can experience the class, meet the coaches, and see whether the environment feels like the right fit before you make any commitments.
You can book a free trial directly through our site, or contact us if you’re unsure which class time suits best. On the day, we’ll make sure your child is introduced to the coach, shown where to put their bag and shoes, and guided through the session at a pace that feels comfortable. It’s simply a chance to try it out and ask any questions you may have.
