One thing we care deeply about in our academy is who teaches the kids.

Not because we underestimate lower belts: there are amazing blue and purple belts 💙 💜 but because teaching children is probably one of the biggest responsibilities in fight sports.

Kids are not just learning techniques.
They are building habits, movement patterns, discipline, confidence, emotional control and understanding of the sport.

And children do not know what is correct and what is not.
They absorb everything exactly as they receive it.

A beginner adult can question a technique, compare systems, analyze details and filter information.
A child cannot.

That means the coach standing in front of them becomes incredibly important.

An experienced coach sees things that less experienced instructors often simply cannot yet see:
bad movement habits, inefficient mechanics, wrong reactions under pressure, tactical mistakes, lack of balance between discipline and motivation, even emotional overload.

And once those habits are repeated for years, correcting them later becomes extremely difficult.

For us, kids training is not “simpler training.”
In many ways, it requires even better coaching.

Because with children, you are not only teaching jiu-jitsu.
You are shaping the athlete they may become in 5 or 10 years.

👊🏽 That foundation matters. A lot.

At Nexus, all of our BJJ kids classes are led by black belt coaches.

The coaches are supported and occasionally replaced during illness or holidays by lower belts (assistant instructors), and they are an important part of the team and learning process.

But the main responsibility always remains in the hands of highly experienced coaches.

We do not see kids training as “babysitting with jiu-jitsu” nor the job everyone with basic knowledge can do.

For us, kids deserve the same quality of coaching we would want for elite adult athletes.

Am zweiten Tag der Deutschen Schülermeisterschaften haben 5 unserer Jungs teilgenommen. Alpi, Max und Mik erreichten die dritten Platz auf Podium! 💥

Wir sind unglaublich stolz auf diese Bronzemedaillen, die sich teilweise wie Gold anfühlen. Die Gewichtsklassen waren stark besetzt und hart umkämpft.

Wir freuen uns zu sehen, wie sehr das Niveau des Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Deutschland steigt. Genau dadurch werden wir alle besser.

Wir sind stolz auf unsere Leistungen, analysieren unsere Fehler und kommen nächstes Jahr stärker zurück.

Besonders stolz sind wir außerdem darauf, dass einer unserer Athleten, Max, eine Einladung zur Bundeskader-Sichtung 2027 erhalten hat.

Unglaublich stolz auf eure Arbeit, eure Disziplin und eure Leidenschaft für diesen Sport.

These are 5 of the 10 kids that we will fighting tomorrow and Sunday at the German Nationals in Gelsenkirchen :

Gisele, Yerai, Leandro, Anais, Juliana, Max, Colin, Mik, Alpi and Lucas.

We wish them a lot of fun, injury-free fights and a bit of luck. The work is done. You got this!

Frohen Muttertag an alle Mamas 👉🏻 besonders an die Jiu-Jitsu-Mütter.
Denn wer sonst kann gleichzeitig Snacks einpacken, Gürtel binden, Kinder beruhigen und jemanden in 3 Sekunden würgen? Ihr seid einfach die Coolsten. 😄🥋

📸 💕

These are some of the most talented and hardest-working younger kids in Europe. Technical, strong, and with a work ethic far beyond their years. They know when it’s time to work and when training is over, they turn back into complete clowns again 😍😅💪🏼
