At Loop Martial Arts, our Junior BJJ (Junnu BJJ in Finnish) program is designed for children aged 8–11 who want to build confidence, improve fitness, and learn real self-defense skills in a safe, supportive environment. Our experienced instructors know how to make training fun and motivating while developing important life skills like discipline, focus, and teamwork.

​

We offer both a Basic Course for beginners and an Advanced Course for more experienced young athletes. Classes run Tuesdays and Fridays, 17:15–18:15 during the Fall Season (August 19 – December 5, 2025). The students train all together, and a separate coach is present for beginners and advanced students.
