While our regular BJJ classes take a short break from 26th July to 1st September, we’ve planned four exciting midweek events to keep your kids active, creative, and having fun during the summer holidays! 🥋🎉

Each event is designed to engage kids aged 4–14, whether they're BJJ members or not. Activities are safe, fully supervised, and packed with energy and creativity!

🕓 Every Wednesday | 4:00–6:00pm
📍 From 30th July to 20th August
