BULLY PROOF
AGES 4 TO 6 YEARS
OUR BULLY PROOF PROGRAM IS FOR OUR YOUNGEST MEMBERS. THIS IS A INCREDIBLE AGE TO START THEIR JIU JITSU JOURNEY, WITH THE PROGRAM CENTRED AROUND GAMES, JIU JITSU FOUNDATIONS AND PHYSICAL EXERCISE.
Our Bully-Proof Program follows a simple, age-appropriate Talk–Tell–Tackle approach to help children respond safely and confidently to bullying.
Talk: Children are taught to use their voice first. This includes saying “stop” clearly, using confident body language, and trying to resolve situations calmly.
Tell: If the behaviour continues or feels unsafe, children are encouraged to walk away and tell a trusted adult. Asking for help is always the right choice.
Tackle: Physical skills are taught only as a last resort. These are simple, controlled movements designed to help a child break free, create space, and get to safety—not to fight or hurt others.
This philosophy reinforces safety, self-control, and responsible decision-making, while giving children the confidence to protect themselves when needed.

No. This program is not about fighting or hurting others. For children aged 4–6, the focus is on confidence, communication, emotional control, and knowing how to get help. Physical skills, if taught at all, are very simple and used only as a last resort to escape and stay safe.
No. The program strongly emphasises kindness, respect, and self-control. Children are taught that using their words, walking away, and asking an adult for help are always the first and best options.
This program is ideal for shy or quiet children. Classes are supportive, non-competitive, and designed to gently build confidence through games, movement, and positive encouragement. OUR COACHES ARE EXPERIENCED IN SUPPORTING CHILDREN OF ALL TEMPRAMENTS AND ABILITIES.
Yes. Structured martial arts programs, including Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, are widely recognised for supporting many neurodivergent children. Our Bully-Proof Program provides clear routines, consistent expectations, and positive discipline, which many children find calming and confidence-building.
Through movement-based learning, repetition, and clear boundaries, children develop emotional regulation, focus, body awareness, and self-control in a supportive, non-competitive environment.
We encourage families to discuss individual needs with our coaches and book a trial class to ensure the best fit.
YOUR CHILD WILL REMAIN IN THIS PROGRAM UNTIL THEY TURN 6 YEARS OLD. ONCE THEY TURN 6 THE COACH WILL DECIDE IF THEY ARE READY FOR THE NEXT PROGRAM (JUNIORS) OR IF THEY NEED TO SPEND SOME MORE TIME LEARNING AND ACHIEVING THE GOALS OF THE BULLY PROOF PROGRAM. THE COACH WILL ALSO CONSIDER THE PHYSICAL SIZE OF YOUR CHILD AND POTENTIAL TRAINING PARTNERS AVAILABLE IN THE NEXT CLASS.
