The Afternoon, Handled
The After School program at our Carrollton academy turns the hours after the bell into something productive. Kids ages 5 to 12 train jiu-jitsu, burn off the day, and build the focus and discipline that show up in their schoolwork.
It is structure when families need it most: a supervised, screen-free afternoon where your child learns a real skill instead of scrolling a phone. Just jiu-jitsu, character work, and a coaching team that treats the academy like a second home.

A supervised, welcoming room and a coaching team that knows your child by name. The academy becomes a place they want to be.
Built around how kids actually develop.
Every kids program keys in on the four stages of childhood development: Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, and Social. We call it PIES. It is how we structure classes, design drills, and build the relationships that turn a shy four-year-old into a confident kid who walks into school with a quiet sense of who they are.
-
P Physical
Coordination, strength, control of the body.
-
I Intellectual
Focus, problem-solving, learning how to learn.
-
E Emotional
Confidence, self-regulation, handling setbacks.
-
S Social
Respect, teamwork, friendship across ages.
