KaJanDo – Real MMA.
Real Confidence.
Just for Kids.
KaJanDo is a kids-only martial arts system created by former UFC fighter Kajan Johnson. It blends MMA, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Kickboxing, Boxing, Karate, Wrestling, Taekwondo, and Judo into a structured program designed to help kids build discipline, confidence, focus, and real self-defense skills.
We currently offer two age groups:
- Minis (Ages 5–6)
- Juniors (Ages 7–12)

KaJanDo Minis
- Fridays @ 4:15 PM
KaJanDo Minis is designed specifically for young children who need structure, patience, and a positive introduction to martial arts. The curriculum focuses on coordination, early striking and grappling fundamentals, listening skills, confidence, and respectful behavior.
What Minis Learn:
- Basic stance and movement
- Simple punches and kicks from multiple striking arts
- Introductory grappling positions and transitions
- Balance, coordination, and body awareness
- Listening skills, focus, and respectful behavior
- Working with partners and small-group drills
What Minis Learn:
Minis participate in a simplified version of the KaJanDo belt system. They earn stripes, skill badges, and may be invited to belt gradings every 12 weeks.
Because gradings occur quarterly, children who want to progress through the belt system benefit most from the ongoing Minis monthly membership after completing the On-Ramp.
