Parent FAQ

Questions parents ask us.

Something else on your mind? Call (604) 385-2822 or email info@gbwhiterock.com.

Is jiu-jitsu safe for kids?
Yes. Jiu-jitsu is a grappling art with no punching or kicking in kids classes. Coaches run controlled, age-grouped drills so children train with partners their size and level.
My child is shy / has never done a sport. Is that okay?
Absolutely. Most kids start with zero experience. Classes are built around games and small wins, which is exactly how confidence grows.
Will it make my child more aggressive?
The opposite. Kids learn self-control, respect and how to handle conflict calmly. The goal is to stay safe, not to fight.
What should they wear to the trial?
Comfortable athletic clothing without zippers or buttons, plus a water bottle. Uniform details are covered after the trial. Confirm with academy
How much does it cost?
