About us
Little Lion Clubs offer two fun, movement-based programs designed especially for kindy-aged kids - Little Lion Dance Club and Little Lion Jiu-Jitsu Club.
Our dance classes help children explore rhythm, creativity, and self-expression through music and play, while our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu sessions teach confidence, balance, and respect through safe, game-based martial arts. Both programs are built around positivity, teamwork, and fun; helping every child move, learn, and grow.

Quite the opposite! Extensive 2025 studies show Jiu-Jitsu helps children regulate their energy, reduce their aggression, practice self-control, and learn calm, respectful, and prosocial behaviours.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gives children more than self-defence - it helps them manage their emotions, work through challenges, and build lasting confidence. Because it is a non-striking martial art, kids learn to stay calm and think clearly even in tricky or confronting situations. Each class develops patience, respect, and teamwork, helping children grow.
Not at all. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is referred to as “the gentle art” because it’s a non-striking martial art - meaning there are no punches or kicks. Instead, we focus on calm movement, balance, and control through cooperative games.
Through fun games and guided play, children learn to manage their energy, move safely, and solve problems calmly. They’ll develop focus, coordination, and social awareness - along with values of respect, discipline, and teamwork.
