Here is what some of the newly Certified Kid-Jitsu® Instructors are saying about Kid-Jitsu®:

"Professor Larry Shealy is a man embodied with a remarkable passion for BJJ and his students. Anyone coming to GB Jacksonville will notice the high level of respect and admiration all students and staff have for him. I heard once that the value of one's live should be measured by how many people use one's live to evaluate the value of theirs. If that is true professor, you should be very proud and happy of all you have accomplished as a BJJ instructor. You have lots of admirers of your work, including my self. Thanks to your services for the growth and expansion of our art and family"

“Awesome! I really enjoyed the seminar certification and loved learning the true art!! It was run very professionally, but also like one big family. There were no egos, so made us feel very comfortable. Thank you for providing us with such great knowledge and a great learning environment!!”

"The Kid-Jitsu® Certification Seminar was very informative. I train in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu on a regular basis, and I learned things that will help improve my game, as well as teach children invaluable information on the specific way children should be taught; because of the different set of needs they have from adults."

I just want to provide this feedback on the KID-JITSU® Program that I attended last weekend. All I can say is WOW! This Certification Program was one of the BEST, and I mean BEST, that I have ever taken. I was thoroughly impressed that Safety was the #1 Priority in this class and how the Instructors require us to instruct our students with Safety as our #1 Goal. I have NEVER taken any Ground or BJJ Instruction before, and what Larry and Charles showed me was GREAT!!! I could not give a higher recommendation for this INCREDIBLE program. My schools will benefit greatly from what I gained in this program.

Larry Shealy has developed a phenomenal program of Jui Jitsu geared for children. My son enrolled in the program about three years ago at the suggestion of his uncle, Marc Funari. It has truly been an awesome experience for my son, so much so that I now have taken the instructor course and attend classes for myself twice a week! Larry has the unique ability to instruct with discipline and still have fun. Keeping children interested and compliant is a task in itself. All the children have a strong sense of pride and self worth in the class. With all the "after school activities" to choose from and in a world where it is so hard to find a balance of quality time with your child, this has given me a wonderful opportunity to spend time with my son. I would recommend this to any father, it only gets better. Much Thanks, Stephen Alexander, D.C.

The Kid-Jitsu program is what we needed to take our school to the next level. The kids love it and the parents love the structure and safety.

This program will grow your school and will retain the students you already have. I feel confident that my staff is trained to run the Kid-Jitsu Program like a machine.
