Kids Classes
5-7 & 8-11 Years
We believe that you should have fun while you are learning, and that goes double for our younger students.
The children enjoy interactive games to develop skill, confidence, co-ordination and focus. We also make sure they gain the tools, physical and verbal, to deal appropriately with bullying. Our bully buster program gives children the tools to deal appropriately with bullies and children also learn how to focus their attention and respect their peers.
Evolution Jujutsu children develop –
• Social skills – getting along with peers and the meaning of ‘respect’
• Discipline – concentration, self-control, better study habits
• Commitment – finish what you start
• Positive self-image – healthy attitude toward self and others
• Physical Conditioning – co-ordination, balance, flexibility, fitness
• Situational awareness – recognise and avoid danger
• Leadership – confidence, independence and courtesy.
Silver Dragons
Silver Dragons (5-7 years) are introduced to the martial arts environment through fun drills and activities. The martial arts skills taught concentrate on falling and breaking falls, blocking, using verbal skills to stop bullies, and awareness of their surroundings in order to get help quickly if they need it.
Attention is also paid to good manners, sportsmanship and concentration, and we encourage responsible behaviours, kindness and helpfulness.
Golden Dragons
Golden Dragon (8-11 years) classes are run along similar lines to Silver Dragons, with attention also on improving levels of fitness and flexibility. Our martial arts training assists with developing good study skills and emotional development.

Leadership Program
Our Leadership Program aims to facilitate the development of shy, quiet young adolescents into confident and independent young adults, starting with leading sections of a class from stretching and basic drills, to more complex techniques.
As our young Leaders progress into Assistant Instructors they learn how to direct classes while managing the various levels of leaders with confidence and ease.
Some of our areas of focus are:
• Control of your emotions
• Polite and kind when guiding younger or more inexperienced students
• Respectful attitude for others and for self
Our leadership program is also accepted as part of the Duke of Edinburgh certification. Step outside of your comfort zone, it’s good fun!

FAQs
Evolution Jujutsu expects a high degree of integrity from its students and has a Code of Conduct which covers our policies for health and safety, sickness and injury, etiquette as well as drugs and alcohol.
A valid membership is maintained by up-to-date fees, payable at commencement of training.
There are no joining fees; grading fees are included.
Members may make up missed class at the first available opportunity; please check with your instructor regarding class availability. Please note that the make up class must be completed within the current term. This facility also applies when there is no class due to a public holiday.
For our junior members. Our focus is on who is doing their best, rather than who is the best, so during the course of a term, we will from time to time award patches to students who are making their best effort in class, or to signify achievement of one of the Warrior patches, e.g. Fitness.
An example of how the patches are to be sewn on may be seen below. We ask that parents follow this guide, since there are quite a few patches to collect and it helps to keep the uniform looking orderly.
Grading for all groups is held at the end of each school semester. That being said, instructors may grade students at their discretion.
It is worth noting that the higher the grade level, the more there is to learn and understand, i.e. it may take more than one semester, or even two, to move to the next level. This is a good thing! It allows for a deeper appreciation of increasingly complex skills.
To be eligible for grading, students must have a current membership.
Students must wear full uniform: Evolution Jujutsu shirt, shorts and belt. Students 8 years and above should also bring their syllabus book, and sparring equipment: gloves, shin guards and mouth guard.
We limit the number of students in each class so that our students get the fullest attention of the instructors to maximise their learning. To secure a place in the class of your choice, we recommend that bookings are made well in advance, e.g. at the end of the current term for the following one. The booking is confirmed with payment of fees.
A willingness to learn is most important.
All students must bring a bottle of water to each class (no glass please!).
Students aged 8 years and over require sparring equipment, which consists of a mouth guard, shin guards (different from those used for soccer) and gloves, all of which are available from the dojo.
For the first class, shorts or loose fitting pants and T-shirt are fine. Our uniform is an Evolution Jujutsu T-shirt and black shorts (available from the dojo), and belt appropriate to grade level, including beginners (or ‘white belt’ students).
We train in bare feet, so students need footwear only for getting to and from the dojo. Please tie back long hair and remove any jewellery.
It’s a good idea to make sure toe and finger nails are trimmed to a safe length, and any cuts or grazes are covered with a sticking plaster strip (e.g. Bandaid).
