_‍🎯 Why Parent's Choose TAP

🏆 Expert Instruction

TAP's children's curriculum was developed by multiple-time Jiu-Jitsu World Champions Thalys and Abbi Pontes in collaboration with Dr. Elisa Kusano who is PHD (ABA), QBA.

📈 Clear Progression

Students learn step by step, building foundational skills and strength before progressing to more advanced training sessions.

🌱 Character Development

Jiu-Jitsu becomes a tool for developing confidence, discipline, focus, resilience, respect, self-control, and cooperation.

🥋 Age-Appropriate Enviroment

We meet students where they are physically, mentally, and technically, with instruction designed around their stage of development.

🎯 WHAT IF MY CHILD IS SHY OR NERVOUS ? THAT’S OKAY!

❤️ Kids don't have to walk through our doors already feeling confident.

❤️ They don't have to know how to do Jiu-Jitsu exercises.

❤️ They don't have to be athletic, we will build them powerful.

🧠 That's what we're here for.

^{Our Kids First Class approach gives your child time to become comfortable, build trust with their professor, and experience Jiu-Jitsu in a supportive environment until they be ready to shine bright in the group.}
