Inside a Lil Ninjas Class at UMA
What a Class Looks Like
Classes are short, active, and built for little attention spans. Kids play movement games with clear rules, learn simple Jiu Jitsu-based skills in small fun steps, practice following directions and taking turns, and get lots of praise for effort.
What Parents Notice
Better listening at home. More patience when something is hard. Following directions without a battle. More confidence around other kids, and a smoother start to school. It doesn't happen overnight. It's built class by class.
A Clear Path Forward
Lil Ninjas move up to our Kids Jiu Jitsu program at age 6, usually with friends and coaches they already know. Belts and stripes give little ones small wins they can see.
Quick Details
Ages 3 to 5. Short, high-energy classes built for little ones. We recommend 2 classes a week. No experience needed. Your first week is free, so you can see if it clicks before you commit to anything.

Lil Ninjas Questions from Fresno Parents
Is 3 too young for martial arts?
Not for Lil Ninjas. The class is built for ages 3 to 5, with short drills and games designed for that stage.
My child is shy. Will they be okay?
Yes. Coaches take time to help new kids settle in. Many shy kids open up after a few classes.
Do parents stay during class?
Parents are welcome to stay and watch from the lobby.
Is it safe?
Yes. Classes focus on movement, listening, and simple skills. There's no hard sparring at this age.
What happens when my child turns 6?
They move up to Kids Jiu Jitsu, usually with friends and coaches they already know.
