Jiu-Jitsu, Wrestling, and Kickboxing classes designed specifically for kids ages 5-15 in Rockville, Maryland. Build discipline, focus, and anti-bullying skills in a safe, supportive environment.
Bullying, anxiety, and low confidence are holding too many kids back. At Rising Tide MoCo, we give children the tools to face these challenges head-on through structured martial arts training that builds character as much as physical ability.
Every child deserves to feel safe, confident, and capable. But too many kids struggle with bullying at school, social anxiety, lack of focus, and low self-esteem. Traditional sports don't always address these challenges at the root.
Martial arts is different. Through structured training, your child will develop the inner strength to stand up for themselves, the discipline to focus in school, and the confidence that comes from mastering new skills every week.
Our kids program is designed by experienced coaches who understand how to engage children, keep them motivated, and help them grow — not just as athletes, but as people.
"We took a trial class at Rising Tide and I really appreciated everything about the experience. My kids attended a free class and thought that Dallas was really kind and patient — neither one of them had done BJJ before so they were very tentative and unsure. He was reassuring and enthusiastic. The facilities were clean and welcome with a great waiting area for parents."
Classes are designed to be fun, active, and engaging. Kids develop coordination, agility, and strength through age-appropriate drills, games, and martial arts techniques that keep them moving and smiling.
Every class reinforces core values: respect, discipline, perseverance, and integrity. Your child will learn to listen, follow instructions, work with others, and push through challenges — skills that extend far beyond the mats.
With structured belt promotions and regular skill assessments, your child will see their progress in real time. The sense of achievement from earning a new belt builds motivation that carries into every area of their life.
