WHAT HAPPENS AT THE OPEN DAY
Everyone starts together, so they won't feel intimidated — and we can focus entirely on the fundamentals.
Your child will take part in a structured introductory session where our coaches will:
Welcome them onto the mats
Introduce them to some basic jiu-jitsu movements and techniques
Help them train safely with other children
Make sure they can join in at their own pace
Give them a feel for what a normal Elements class is like
The aim is for them to have fun, learn something new and experience jiu-jitsu without pressure.
At the end of the session, every child receives a certificate for trying it out.
Parents are welcome to stay and watch.

MEET THE KIDS’ TEAM
Friendly, Experienced Coaches Who Help Children Feel Welcome From Day One
Our friendly, experienced Kids’ coaches help every child feel comfortable, supported and included from the moment they step onto the mats.
With a focus on confidence, discipline, resilience and fun, the team creates a positive environment where complete beginners can learn at their own pace.
WHAT SHOULD MY CHILD WEAR
There’s no need to buy any specialist equipment for the Open Day.
Loose, comfortable clothing is perfect, such as:
Shorts
Leggings
Jogging bottoms
A T-shirt
A bottle of water
Please avoid clothing with zips, pockets or buttons, as these can scratch training partners.
WHAT IF MY CHILD IS NERVOUS
That’s completely normal.
Many children feel shy, unsure or nervous before trying martial arts for the first time.
Our coaches are used to welcoming complete beginners and will help your child join in at their own pace.
There’s no pressure to perform, and nobody expects them to know what they’re doing.
The whole point of the Open Day is to let them experience jiu-jitsu before you decide whether it’s right for them.
OUR OPEN DAY PROMISE
Your child will be welcomed, supported and encouraged to join in at their own pace.
There’s no pressure to perform and no obligation to join. The Open Day gives your child the chance to experience jiu-jitsu, meet the coaches, and see whether Elements feels right for them.

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Does my child need any experience?
No. The intro session is suitable for complete beginners and designed to help children take their first step in a safe, supported way.
Can parents stay and watch?
Yes. Parents are welcome to stay and watch the session.
Is BJJ good for confidence and bullying prevention?
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can help children become more confident, calm and resilient. It teaches control, body awareness, discipline, and self-belief, all of which can help them handle challenges with others.
Will my child be pushed too hard?
No. We focus on helping each child learn at an appropriate pace in a supportive environment. The goal is to make the first experience positive, not overwhelming.
