Toddler & Kids October Updates

NEW Saturday 11am Toddler session opens this weekend. As our popular Toddler Jiu Jitsu program continues to grow, we are adding a new session that takes place on Saturdays 11:00-11:30am. This session officially opens this weekend on Saturday, October 3rd.

Saturday Kids Class begins at 12pm. To accommodate the new Toddler class, our Kids Jiu Jitsu class on Saturdays will begin one hour later, at 12pm. This change takes effect this weekend on Saturday, October 3rd.

NEW Monday 4pm Kids & Youth session opens October 5th. As our current Kids Jiu Jitsu sessions are all at or approaching full capacity, we are opening new sessions to take place throughout the week. The first of the new sessions to open will be on Mondays 4:00-4:45pm. This session will begin as a mixed Kids & Youth class, with plans to separate into two sessions (Kids 4pm, Youth 5pm) in 2027. The Monday 4pm session officially opens this coming Monday, October 5th.

Planning a NEW Tuesday 6pm Kids & Youth session, coming soon. We recognize that for many families with two working parents, getting your child to an activity during weekday work hours is a challenge. We are planning to open a new session that will take place on Tuesdays at 6:00-6:45pm. This session will begin as a mixed Kids & Youth class. We are currently surveying for interest in this time slot — if this option works well for your family, please communicate your interest by speaking to us in-person, sending a text at 626-491-5850, or email at info@renzograciepasadena.com.

Hey Parents — check out our “Ground Zero” course for complete beginners. Did you know that grown-ups can do Jiu Jitsu too? :) We’ve recently started a new, beginner-friendly course for our adult program called “Ground Zero.” It’s specifically designed for complete beginners with no previous experience, and some our parents from the Kids & Toddler program have already joined in on the fun!

You’ll gain a better understanding of what your kids are doing in class, set a positive example for your kids, and get a great workout. This class is offered 5 different times throughout the week for maximum flexibility.

Your first session is on us. Talk to Coach Alex or Coach Sally in-person, or send us a text and we’ll help you get started.
