Stonecoast Brazilian Jiu Jitsu For Kids

Just a reminder that Stripe & Belt Testing will take place on Saturday, March 21st.

After testing, we’ll be hosting a Super Fun Family Class, and everyone is encouraged to come — even if your athlete is not testing. It’s always a great opportunity for parents and siblings to jump on the mats, try some Jiu Jitsu, and share the experience together.

We’re also happy to welcome anyone who’s curious about training - you’re welcome to come try a free class and see what Stonecoast is all about.

We’re looking forward to another great week of training. Thank you for being part of the Stonecoast community.

See you on the mats! 🥋

❄️ SNOW DAY! TUESDAY EVENING!
Due to the incoming snow storm, Stonecoast BJJ will be closed this evening. Safety is our top priority and we want everyone getting home safe!
We will be back on the mats tomorrow — rest up, stay warm, and we'll see you then! 🥋

Stonecoast Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was the first kids-only Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school in Maine - a distinction that set it apart from traditional academies that simply added youth classes to adult programs.

From the beginning, the school was intentionally designed around children. The curriculum, structure, pacing, and expectations were all built specifically for young athletes and not adapted just as an afterthought.

At the center of it is the owner, whose vision shaped the foundation of the school. With years of experience in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and youth coaching, he recognized that kids thrive when training is structured, consistent, and purpose-driven. Rather than chasing trends or competition accolades alone, he built the program around long-term development.

His approach emphasizes:
• Technical precision from the start
• Discipline before motivation
• Clear standards and accountability
• Confidence earned through consistent effort
• Leadership and respect as non-negotiables

Professor Durfee is known for holding students to a high standard while remaining deeply invested in their growth, not just as athletes, but as young people. Parents often note the transformation they see: improved focus, better listening skills, stronger posture, and increased self-confidence.

By creating Maine’s first dedicated kids-only BJJ school, professor Durfee didn’t just open a gym, he established a training environment where youth development is the priority.

That original philosophy continues to guide the school today: structured, disciplined, and built to shape capable, resilient kids on and off the mat.

Belts were earned, but what we really saw was patience, grit, and people lifting each other up.

Every stripe, every promotion reflects hours of work and a room full of teammates who show up, encourage, and believe in one another.

Proud of this community and the way we grow together, on and off the mats. 🥋

New students are always welcome, come on your own or bring someone along.
