In keeping with our mission to be a church that loves and serves our community, we are pleased to offer a weekly FREE martial arts program on Sundays starting Fall 2024 for children and youth. This program is designed to create a FUN and SAFE space for all children and youth, where they can be physically active while learning techniques from Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, regardless of athletic skill or confidence level. Note: This is an introductory level BJJ program. Students who want to pursue BJJ more seriously should contact local gyms such as Truro BJJ or MarMac.

Group A: Ages 6-11 | Sundays 12:00-12:45 | Capacity: 20 students | Duration: 8 weeks (Sept 22 - approximately Nov 10, 2024)

Group B: Ages 12-17 | Sundays 1:00-1:45 | Capacity: 20 students | Duration: 8 weeks (Sept 22- approximately Nov 10, 2024)

Location: Immanuel Baptist Church, 295 Young Street, Truro (Robertson Hall) - enter through ‘office’ doors

A team of trained volunteers including two experienced BJJ blackbelt instructors, Edwin Coelho and Brad Sullivan, will oversee the program. All volunteers have passed our rigorous child abuse prevention procedures, and are certified in Emergency First Aid. Please review our BJJ Policies and Procedures.

Children who attend the morning church service and then stay for BJJ will be provided with a light snack. (Families of BJJ participants are certainly welcome to attend church services at Immanuel).

If your student wants to give BJJ a try, you can register them here based on their age group.

There is no requirement to complete all 8 weeks. If your child tries it out and doesn’t want to continue, no problem - just let us know so we can free up their spot for someone else who may be interested.
