The Ikaika kids program instills discipline and gives children the opportunity to learn how to truly defend themselves. We engage our kids by incorporating playful exercises that focus on developing & improving key motor skills and flexibility. Zed Chereghini, head Professor & founder of Ikaika, has spent over 15 years teaching and developing his unique children's Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and self defense programs.
AGES 3-6
This program primarily focuses on establishing discipline and routine. During this critical developmental period of life your child will gain the knowledge of how to react in a threatening situation. The classes consist of different types of jiu-jitsu exercises and games that make students become more comfortable with their own bodies. This program helps improve motor skills, flexibility and gives them a chance to obtain a healthy lifestyle at a very young age.
AGES 7-12
This program really tests our students. Our classes consist of conditioning methods that will increase strength and flexibility. This age group is made up of beginners as well as advanced students. Students will have the opportunity to join our competition team to test there skills against opponents from other academies.

The kids in Zed's classes glow with excitement, the parents eyes are glued on the class ...
