It’s always special to watch our students share what they’ve learned.

When confidence meets knowledge, moments like this happen naturally.

Take a moment to watch Maya in action. We think you’ll be impressed. 💙🥋

“Mom, Dad… I don’t want to go to Jiu-Jitsu anymore.”

Have you heard this at home? Don’t worry, it’s more common than you think.

Kids go through phases. Sometimes it’s tiredness, insecurity, or just a new challenge. But with the right support and consistency, those phases turn into powerful growth. 💪
At =RADA=, we teach more than just techniques. We help develop confidence, discipline, focus, and resilience, including the strength to keep going, even when it feels hard.

🌟 Classes starting at 2.5 years old
📩 First class is free!

Let’s talk and see how Jiu-Jitsu can transform your child’s daily life, on the mat, at school, and beyond.

Every child grows at their own pace. 🥋💙

Some arrive shy.
Some are full of energy.
Some make friends on day one, while others take a little more time.

No matter where they begin, our goal is always the same: to help every child grow with confidence, discipline, respect, and resilience.

Our 6 to 9-year-old program is about so much more than learning Jiu-Jitsu. It’s about building character, creating friendships, and giving kids a place where they can challenge themselves while having fun.

Watching them grow together, encourage one another, and celebrate each other’s progress is one of the best parts of what we do.

We’re proud of every student who steps onto our mats.

Strong girls start here. 🥋💙

Every class is about so much more than learning Jiu-Jitsu.

It’s about building confidence, developing discipline, making new friends, and discovering just how capable they are.

With every drill, every game, and every challenge, our girls grow a little stronger, not just on the mats, but in everyday life.

We hope they leave each class believing in themselves a little more than they did the day before.

That’s what Jiu-Jitsu is all about.

This past weekend, our team stepped onto the mats at the @ibjjf Los Angeles Open and made us incredibly proud. 🥋🏆

Our students brought home:
🥇 1 Gold
🥈 1 Silver
🥉 2 Bronze

While we’re always happy to celebrate the medals, what makes us most proud is everything they represent.

The early mornings. The consistency. The hard training. The courage to step onto the competition mats and give their very best.

Every tournament is another opportunity to learn, grow, and become stronger, regardless of the final result.

Congratulations to all of our athletes for representing the RADA family with heart, respect, and determination. Your hard work continues to inspire everyone around you.

This is what Jiu-Jitsu is all about: showing up, trusting the process, and never stopping the pursuit of becoming better than yesterday.

We keep training. We keep growing. We keep evolving.

Thinking about starting your own Jiu-Jitsu journey? We’d love to have you on the mats.

Silver plate today at IBJJF LA Open 2026 🥈

I had a really good experience today on the Black Belt, I had a really good match the first round, submitted on the back and on the second I was following the plan but unfortunately the opponent got my foot.

I’m so happy and grateful for God to be back on the mats, I know exactly what i should work more and my team will keep growing. Right after the match I could be with my professor fixing my mistakes and I’m excited for the next tournament | San Diego Open 8th/9th IBJJF

There’s something special about watching girls grow through Jiu-Jitsu. 🥋💙

What begins as learning a few techniques quickly becomes something much bigger.

Confidence.
Resilience.
Discipline.
Self-belief.

Every class is an opportunity to become stronger, not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too.

Our goal isn’t simply to teach Jiu-Jitsu. It’s to create an environment where every girl feels capable, supported, and confident enough to take on challenges both on and off the mats.

The skills they build here will stay with them long after class is over.

We keep training. We keep growing. We keep evolving.

Every big journey starts with a small step… and for our youngest students, it starts with fun! 🥋💙

Our 3 to 4-year-old program is designed to help little ones learn through movement, games, and age-appropriate Jiu-Jitsu activities.

Every class is an opportunity to develop coordination, balance, focus, listening skills, confidence, and social interaction, all in a safe, encouraging, and fun environment.

While they’re having fun, they’re also building important skills that will benefit them both on and off the mats.

At RADA, we believe it’s never too early to help children grow stronger, more confident, and ready for life’s challenges.

We’d love to welcome your little one to the mats!

🚫 Bullying leaves invisible scars, but Jiu-Jitsu helps heal them.

We believe confidence is built from an early age.
When a child learns to move safely, to fall and rise with strength, and to respect others, they also learn to protect themselves from those who try to put them down.

🥋 Our classes build skills that go beyond the mat:
✔️ emotional security
✔️ discipline and self-control
✔️ courage to say “no” and act with respect

✨ Here, every child grows knowing they can rely on their own body, mind, and community.

👨‍👩‍👧 Schedule a free trial class and discover an environment that transforms.

Moments like these remind us that Jiu-Jitsu is about so much more than belts. 🥋✨

Congratulations to Kennedy and João Pedro on their well-deserved promotions!

Kennedy has been training with us for quite some time, and it has been incredible to watch her grow both on and off the mats. Her dedication, confidence, and commitment continue to shine, and it’s even more special to see her sharing this journey alongside her little brother.

João Pedro also reached an exciting milestone, earning his yellow and white belt with a very special person by his side: his father, who trains as well. Moments like these show how Jiu-Jitsu can bring families together and create memories that last a lifetime.

While belts are important milestones, what makes us most proud is the growth behind them. The discipline, confidence, perseverance, and character that are developed through every class and every challenge.

At RADA, we’re not just teaching Jiu-Jitsu. We’re helping build strong, confident individuals and creating a community where families can grow together.

Congratulations, Kennedy and João Pedro! We can’t wait to see what’s next in your journey. 💙
