Writer's picture: Borderlands Grappling Borderlands Grappling



After a successful 2024 for the Borderlands Grappling team, we are super excited to announce that we will be launching our kids program next month at Ludlow Primary school.


The launch of the new program comes after a considerable number of requests and interest from Borderlands members and others in the local area for a kids class. After several months of arranging venues and other admin surrounding the class, we are delighted that Ludlow's first ever kids dedicated Brazilian Jiu Jistu class is now just around the corner.


Below you can find all the class details, how to book and some information on why BJJ is such a great martial art for kids.


Class Details


Time & Date: Monday 10th Feb 2025; 18:00 to 19:00; then every Monday at the same time Location: Ludlow Primary School, Clee View, Ludlow ,SY8 1HX

For: Children aged 8-14 Coach:



  • Black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (UKBJJA registered)

  • 15+ years of experience

  • Elite level competitive experience

  • Enhanced DBS checked

  • First aid trained


Owain will be supported by a small team who are also enhanced DBS checked.


About the classes:


Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a marital art that uses a combination of throws, sweeps and submissions. The kids class will be taught in the gi (the special trousers and jacket) and belt, but students can get started in suitable sports wear such as t-shirt and shorts.


Lessons will typically follow a format:


  • Warm up

  • Techniques/skill based games

  • Sparring


We aim to make all aspects of lessons fun and enjoyable for students. Safety is our primary concern and we take as many measures as possible to ensure it. However, students and their guardians should be aware that BJJ is a contact sport and therefore carries an element of risk. We strongly recommend the use of protective equipment such as a gumshield during live training. If you would like to know anything else about the classes, don't hesitate to get in touch.


How to book


There are several steps to signing up, but once you are registered and on a full membership, it is simply a case of booking into each class. Here is how to get started:


  1. Go to this page and select FREE TRIAL: Kid's classes

  2. Go through the process of signing up and checkout (you won't need to input any payment information)

  3. Once checked out, go to our timetable and scroll along to the 10th Feb to book onto the first kids class

  4. After you have booked, you will then get an email with a Junior Assumption of Risk form to fill out, this will need completing before the class


Once your child has attended the trial class and had a chance to see if they like it, you will have the option to sign up for a monthly membership at £24/month.


Why BJJ for kids?


Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is an amazing way for kids to build confidence, discipline, and resilience in a fun and supportive environment. It teaches them practical self-defense skills while improving coordination, problem-solving, and teamwork.


Unlike many sports, BJJ allows kids to develop mental toughness and respect for others through controlled, safe sparring—helping them grow both on and off the mats.
