Lineage BJJ
Youth Competition Team at Lineage BJJ®
Elite Training for Dedicated Youth Athletes Ages 5–13 in St. Mary’s County
The Lineage BJJ® Youth Competition Team is an invite-only program for motivated students ages 5–13 who have demonstrated focus, discipline, and a strong work ethic in our regular kids programs.
This team is not a requirement—and not every child should be on it.
It exists for students who want more, can handle added responsibility, and are ready for structured competition training.
What Sets the Youth Competition Team Apart
This program is intentionally selective and development-focused.
- Invitation Only: Students are selected by coaches based on attitude, consistency, maturity, and technical readiness—not medals alone.
- Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu First: Competition training is built on the same foundation—control, awareness, and intelligent decision-making.
- Gi and No-Gi Experience: Students train in both formats, building adaptability while maintaining strong fundamentals.
- Structured Competition Preparation: Training includes positional strategy, rules awareness, pacing, and safe, age-appropriate sparring.
- Character Before Podiums: Discipline, respect, teamwork, and accountability come first. Competition is a tool—not the goal.
Training Access & Locations
