Inside Our Kids BJJ Competition Class Warm-Up

Every kids competition class at Mindset Martial Arts & Fitness in Hayward starts with a warm-up. Watch our competition team get ready to train, and learn why warm-ups matter so much for young athletes.

Why Warm-Ups Matter

• Injury prevention. Warm muscles and joints are much less likely to get hurt.
• Movement skills. Many warm-up drills are jiu-jitsu movements: rolls, shrimps, bridges and break falls.
• Focus. The warm-up gets kids' minds on the mat and ready to learn.
• Conditioning. Competitors need cardio and strength to keep working late in a match.

Our Kids Competition Class

Kids who want to compete are invited into our competition class, where they earn a yellow stripe. After their first tournament, they earn a red stripe. Competition kids train harder and work toward 15 to 20 tournaments at white belt before moving up.
