Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
The Forge Kids Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) program is for children ages 4 to 13 and NO prior experience is necessary. Our martial arts curriculum incorporates sport grappling and self-defense skills. The focus is to develop fitness, discipline and self-confidence in a fun, safe and family friendly environment. Class sizes are limited so that your child can get the individualized attention they deserve.
We love visitors and children are invited for free trial classes before joining. Wear comfortable athletic clothes and show up 15 minutes early to sign in and we will get your child on the mat. No strings or obligations.
NO contracts, testing or initiation fees.

Coach Chuck says: “I’ve been a Pastor and Minister since 2001, married since 1997, and have been training Martial Arts since 2010. I guess you could say that Faith/Family/Forge pretty much sums up my life right now. I received my Black Belt in Muay Thai in 2015 and my Brown Belt in Jiu Jitsu in 2023. I am proud that two of my three adult children are still involved in BJJ and enjoy sharing their knowledge through coaching the kids. Nowadays the thing I enjoy the most about training BJJ is the brotherhood and new relationships formed on the mats; and of course, the knowledge to be gained and shared.”
