Choose the program that fits where you are. Every class is taught by Soca BJJ-certified instructors at your local academy.
All levels — no experience required
The foundation of everything we teach. This program introduces you to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu through Master Soca’s core curriculum — fundamental techniques, positional drilling, and live sparring in a safe and structured environment. Belt progression is systematic, based on genuine skill development. The environment is ego-free and built for long-term growth, not quick results. If you have never trained before, this is where you start.
Blue belt and above
For students who have established a foundation and are ready to go further. The advanced curriculum introduces more complex techniques, self-defense applications, and high-level live training. Progression here follows the same carefully structured system developed by Master Soca — earned through consistent work on the mat, never rushed.
Open to students with a BJJ foundation
BJJ without the gi. This class develops adaptable grappling skills through submission-based sparring, body control, and transitions — training that directly complements your gi work and prepares you for the full range of grappling situations. Uniform: academy rash guard with grappling shorts and/or spats. Recommended for students who have begun their training in the gi.
WOMEN ONLY · ALL LEVELS
A dedicated class for women who want to train in a focused, supportive environment. The curriculum is the same high-quality BJJ taught across all Soca programs — with the added benefit of training alongside other women at every stage of their journey. Whether your goal is self-defense, fitness, or competition, this class is built for you.
Every child who walks into Soca BJJ leaves with something real — a technique they learned, a challenge they overcame, a teammate they helped. Our kids program is built to develop discipline, confidence, and self-defense skills at every stage of development.
You are not just signing your child up for a martial art. You are giving them a structured environment where effort is expected, respect is taught by example, and confidence grows through real achievement. At Soca BJJ, every kids class is age-appropriate, carefully supervised, and grounded in Master Soca’s curriculum.
Our approach is simple: teach real Jiu-Jitsu in a way that meets each child where they are. No shortcuts — just consistent, patient instruction that builds genuine skill and character over time.
Ages 3–5
The first introduction to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. At this age, the goal is not technique — it is movement, listening, and learning to love the mat. Classes are playful, fully supervised, and designed to build body awareness, coordination, and the ability to follow instruction. Discipline and teamwork are woven into every session naturally.
Ages 4–6
Building on the foundation of the Mini Grapplers program, this class introduces more structured technique at each child’s individual pace. Children at this level begin to develop real BJJ patterns — basic positions, fundamental movements, and the habits of a good training partner. Progress is celebrated and never rushed.
Ages 6–10
At this stage, technique takes center stage. Children develop solid, consistent movement — learning to drill with focus and spar with control. The class emphasizes technical development, team culture, and the kind of resilience that comes from overcoming real challenges on the mat.
Ages 10–14
The most advanced level of our kids program. Junior Grapplers develop a personal game — learning to connect techniques into strategy, drill with intensity, and compete when they choose to. The curriculum challenges them technically and mentally, preparing them for the adult program.
Available to kids with a BJJ foundation
Submission grappling without the gi, for younger students who are ready to expand their training. The same fundamentals applied without the traditional uniform — developing adaptability and grappling awareness in a new context. Uniform: academy rash guard and grappling shorts.
Every Soca BJJ kids class is taught in a safe, structured environment. Instructors are trained to work with children at each developmental stage — patient, clear, and consistent. We welcome parents to watch from the sidelines, ask questions before and after class, and stay involved in their child’s progress.
If your child is shy, nervous, or has never been in a group class before, that is not a problem. Many of our best students walked in unsure — and walked out wanting to come back.
No experience required. No pressure. Just show up — we will take care of the rest.
