Teaching Kids and Teens to Defend Themselves.

At MatTime, we believe in more than just teaching technique — our mission is to Build Good, Strong Kids. Through our Kids Jiu Jitsu program, we help young grapplers develop not only physical strength and skill, but also mental toughness, discipline, confidence, and resilience.

Why MatTime's Kids Jiu Jitsu Is Unique

American-Style, No-Gi Focus — Unlike traditional Gi-based schools, our kids' classes emphasize American Jiu Jitsu, fusing wrestling and traditional grappling. By training without a Gi, wrestling becomes an integral part of the curriculum — making our young athletes well-rounded grapplers who excel on their feet and on the ground.

Hybrid Grapplers — This blend of wrestling and Jiu Jitsu builds hybrid grapplers with a broad skill set — perfect for self defense, competition, or the transition into high school wrestling.

Competitive Pathway — Students who excel in Jiu Jitsu may receive a special invitation to join our MatTime Competitive Wrestling team — giving them a chance to compete and grow in our wrestling program.

Our Penryn, CA academy serves families in Penryn and the surrounding communities including Rocklin, Loomis, Roseville, Auburn, and Lincoln.

Benefits of Kids Jiu Jitsu at MatTime

Training in Jiu Jitsu — and especially our hybrid wrestling + grappling approach — offers many powerful benefits:

Confidence & Self-Defense — Kids learn how to confidently defend themselves through effective grappling techniques, using leverage and skill rather than brute strength.

Fitness & Strength — No-Gi grappling builds cardiovascular endurance, core strength, agility, and balance — skills that carry over into other sports.

Mental Toughness & Resilience — Through drilling, live rolling, and structured challenges, children learn grit, perseverance, and how to stay composed in demanding situations.

Discipline & Teamwork — Training in a combat-sport environment builds respect, self-discipline, and the ability to work and train with others.

Long-Term Growth — Kids who show dedication and progress may be invited into our MatTime Competitive Wrestling team, creating a clear development pathway from youth grappling to high-level wrestling competition.

Our Philosophy: Building More Than Athletes

At MatTime, we're not just building fighters — we're building character. The lessons learned on the mat go far beyond technique. We invest in our students' growth as good, strong kids who carry strength, respect, and resilience into every part of their lives.

Whether your child is brand new to martial arts or already loves grappling, our Kids Jiu Jitsu classes in Penryn, CA are designed to develop their full potential. Families from Rocklin, Loomis, Roseville, Auburn, Lincoln, and beyond trust MatTime to provide high-quality, character-building instruction.
