Kids KaJanDo

Real MMA. Real Confidence. Just for Kids.

Program Description

KaJanDo is a kids-only MMA system created by UFC veteran Kajan Johnson—blending the best of striking and grappling with a belt-based progression system that builds both skill and character.

Our structured curriculum combines real martial arts technique with core values like respect, perseverance, and integrity. Kids advance through ranks while learning elements of boxing, kickboxing, wrestling, Jiu Jitsu, and Judo—modified for safety, age, and skill level.

Every class follows a predictable structure that helps kids feel confident and stay engaged:
Warm-up ➝ Core Technique ➝ Games & Drills ➝ Mat Chat & Life Lesson

Classes are split into two core tracks:
KaJanDo Kida: Focused on striking
KaJanDo Kumi: Focused on grappling

With belt promotions every 12 weeks and a strong focus on personal growth, KaJanDo helps kids become stronger—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too.

What They’ll Learn:

 

• Foundational MMA skills from boxing, kickboxing, wrestling, and BJJ
• Respect, self-discipline, and perseverance
• Takedowns, escapes, submissions, and striking technique (age-appropriate)
• How to train safely, follow structure, and work as a team
• How to speak with confidence, act with integrity, and handle challenges

Who It’s For:

 

• Kids ages 7–12 who want fun, engaging, and structured martial arts training
• Families looking for more than just a sport—something that builds real character
• Kids who need confidence, focus, or a positive outlet for energy
• Young martial artists looking to grow at their own pace in a safe environment

Why Choose KaJanDo?

 

KaJanDo was built from the ground up to give kids a better path in martial arts. No egos, no fluff—just real technique, positive values, and a step-by-step system that meets each child where they are.
