AFTER-SCHOOL JIU JITSU ENRICHMENT PROGRAM
A Structured, Confidence-Building Experience for K–4th Grade Students
At Annunziato Jiu Jitsu, our After-School Jiu Jitsu Enrichment Program gives young students a positive, structured environment where they can learn discipline, build confidence, and develop real leadership skills — all through world-class martial arts training.
This program is designed for families seeking a purposeful alternative to traditional after-school arrangements. We are a private enrichment and athletic development program, focusing on character, physical fitness, and personal growth — not childcare.
Afterschool Enrichment Program
Why Families Choose Our Program
A Safe, Structured End to the School Day
Children thrive when expectations are clear and routines are consistent. Our enrichment program helps students decompress after school, re-center, and transition into meaningful activities that support their development.
Daily Martial Arts Training
Jiu Jitsu teaches respect, courage, problem-solving, and perseverance. Students participate in daily training, learning techniques, teamwork, and positive habits that transfer into home and school life.
Leadership & Life Skills
Through structured lessons and hands-on experience — including our leadership block assisting Little Heroes on Tuesdays and Thursdays — students gain communication, teamwork, and responsibility skills.
Positive Role Models
Our instructors and staff provide mentorship, structure, and encouragement. We believe in modeling strong character and helping students grow into disciplined, confident leaders.
Brightwheel Parent Portal
Parents receive real-time updates, notifications, and communication through Brightwheel, creating transparency and peace of mind throughout the afternoon.
