What happens in an hour
Little kids learn by copying. In Tiny Tots, the person they copy is you.
A coach walks the whole group through simple movements: forward rolls, crawling races, balance challenges, and the same safe-falling basics our older judo students practice every class. You help your child through each one, and you get a light workout yourself.
There's no uniform, no belts, and no pressure. The goal is a kid who's comfortable on the mat, follows a coach's directions, and thinks exercise is something you do with your family.
What your child builds
Falling without fear
Tucking the chin and rolling out of a fall is a skill kids keep for life. Tiny Tots teaches it as a game long before it matters.
Listening to a coach
Following directions from an adult who isn't Mom or Dad is good practice for school, and much easier with a parent right there.
Balance and coordination
Crawling, hopping, and balancing on one foot build the body control kids use in every sport later.
A head start on judo
Kids who grow up in Tiny Tots walk into youth judo already knowing how to fall, bow, and line up.
Tiny Tots questions
Do I have to participate?
Yes, and that's the fun of it. Tiny Tots is a co-workout: a coach leads you and your child through it together. Wear clothes you can move in.
Is it judo?
It's built on the same foundations: rolling, falling safely, balance, and body awareness, taught through games. It's a great first step before youth judo or wrestling at age 9.
Can a grandparent or nanny come instead of a parent?
Yes, any trusted adult can be the grown-up on the mat. Let us know who will be coming so the waiver is in the right name.
What if my child doesn't want to participate that day?
That's normal at this age. Sit on the edge of the mat together and join back in when they're ready. Most kids are in within a few minutes.
Do we have to come every day?
No. Class runs every weekday at 10 am, and you can come as often as your week allows.
Bring your little one at 10.
Any weekday. The first week is free, for both of you.
