Why Choose Tiny Ninjas Over Other Activities?
See how our Tiny Ninjas program stacks up against traditional sports, gyms, and other recreational activities for kids. From personal growth to life skills, discover why our martial arts classes are the ideal choice for your child’s development.
Many sports emphasize competition and physical performance, leaving little room for teaching values like discipline, focus, and self-control.
Team tryouts and competitive play often mean some kids sit on the sidelines, which can diminish their confidence and discourage participation.
A heavy focus on winning can overshadow the fun of the game and the lessons of teamwork, sportsmanship, and resilience.
Coaches in larger teams may struggle to give every child the individual attention they need to grow at their own pace.
Our classes combine physical activity with lessons in respect, focus, and self-discipline, supporting both mental and physical development.
Every child participates fully in our classes, receiving personalized guidance and encouragement, regardless of their starting skill level.
Through belt progressions and skill mastery, children focus on personal growth and improvement rather than competition or comparison.
Our expert instructors provide tailored feedback and support, ensuring every child feels confident, capable, and excited to learn.
Martial Arts Enhances Coordination and Body Awareness
In our Tiny Ninjas program, young children discover that every movement has purpose. Through guided practice, they learn to control their actions with care and precision, improving both motor skills and focus.
Each class strengthens their hand-eye coordination and helps them understand how their bodies move. This not only reduces accidental mishaps but also boosts their confidence as they master new skills. With each lesson, your child will gain greater awareness of their physical capabilities, setting a strong foundation for future growth and success.
Martial Arts Helps Kids Develop Lasting Concentration Skills
Teaching young children to concentrate can be challenging, but our Tiny Ninjas program turns it into a fun and rewarding experience. Through engaging activities and structured lessons, kids learn to focus on specific tasks, mastering skills step by step with encouragement from their instructors.
The discipline they develop in class doesn’t stay on the mats—it carries over into their everyday lives. Parents often notice improved listening skills, better attention spans, and enhanced performance in school. By practicing focus in a positive and supportive environment, your child will gain a valuable skill that benefits them far beyond martial arts.
Martial Arts Teaches Kids to Overcome Challenges
In our Tiny Ninjas program, children learn that progress takes patience and effort. Earning new belts and mastering techniques requires persistence, which helps kids develop the resilience to handle setbacks. They begin to understand that frustration is part of growth, and they learn to keep trying instead of giving up.
Our classes also provide an excellent outlet for stress. The physical activity helps children release pent-up energy and manage anxiety in a healthy and productive way. By facing challenges in a supportive environment, your child will build both emotional and physical strength, preparing them to navigate life with confidence.
Martial Arts Teaches Kids the Value of Good Sportsmanship
Losing can be tough for anyone, especially for young children, but it’s also an important part of personal growth. In our Tiny Ninjas classes, we teach kids to view setbacks as opportunities to learn and grow. They discover that how they respond to challenges defines their character, and we guide them in embracing humility and resilience.
Even though martial arts focuses on individual progress, we create a strong sense of community. Kids cheer each other on, celebrate successes together, and learn to support their peers. This unique combination of personal achievement and teamwork helps them understand the importance of mutual respect and positive sportsmanship in all areas of life.

Everything is AWESOME! I have seen a big confidence boost in both of my girls since they have started classes here and I would recommend this gym for anyone thinking of trying something new for their kids or themselves. This gym provides a safe, friendly and clean environment to practice BJJ where everyone is treated with respect.
My experience at Affinity Academy has been amazing. You will receive instruction that is detailed, methodical, patient and immediately applicable. The people you will meet here are some of the highest quality human beings you could hope to meet. The atmosphere is fun, supportive, and very much like family. If you are looking for world class training in the gentle art of Jiu Jitsu then Affinity Academy is the place for you!
What can I say about Affinity, that hasn't already been said?!
It's amazing! I love it. The instructors are awesome, very knowledgable, approachable and just all round good people. A friend convinced me to come try, although to be honest I have always wanted to learn bjj so it really didn't take much convincing at all, and as soon as I stepped on the mats and tried my first class, I was hooked.
The people at Affinity treat you like family, the sr. belts are always more than willing to slow down and show you proper form and technique.
I could go on for ever, but will just say this,I definitely have zero regrets about joining and I plan to train for years to come!
Thank you Affinity Academy for making me feel welcome, and guiding me down this new path in life!
I currently have 2 kids in the jujitsu program at Affinity and couldn't ask for a better introduction for them both to martial arts. The coaches are excellent at engaging with young children and the other members have been very welcoming. Has very quickly become the favourite activity for both my kids and I believe the technical skills and the character lessons taught to them there will benefit them greatly as they grow. I would highly recommend this gym and these coaches to anyone looking for a BJJ program for their sons or daughters.
A great environment that quickly becomes your family. They have so many different programs that there truly is something for everyone of all ages and skill set. I have learned so much at this school in such a short time and it is the direct effect of good people, in a good place, all doing something we feel very strongly for. Would recommend Affinity Academy to anyone thinking of starting the sport.
I've been training at Affinity Academy for just over 1 year. Every class is without a doubt one of the most rewarding experiences I am fortunate enough to participate in, every chance I get. The safe, positive environment reflects the values and passion of the family ownership, staff, and the members. A passionate, respectful culture of support and constant improvement is ingrained in the Academy. I cannot speak highly enough of Affinity to effectively convey the experience...you need to come for a visit and see for your it for yourself! You'll be back.
Excellent programs for both adults and kids with great instructors. A family and community oriented academy with a safe and fun learning environment. A wonderful martial arts academy for all ages, highly recommended.
I love this place. Super clean facility, friendly and knowledgeable people who are more than willing to help you feel safe and comfortable learning the art.
I started BJJ at the Affinity Academy in February. It was a challenge for me to get started because I was afraid and quite anxious. It was something completely new to me and I thought maybe I wouldn't be strong or "tough" enough to join. From my very first class until now, everyone has been so welcoming and very supportive with one another. The Academy is a very positive and family friendly environment. Our Sensei's Andell and Clifton are professional and very knowledgeable of this art. Classes are well structured and quite challenging, which keeps me coming back for more. BJJ is beginning to change my life in many ways. I take pride in being a part of this team. I will be forever grateful and will continue to be humble learning this gentle art.
My daughter started about 3 months ago and I think she's doing really well. That's because of the amazing instruction and, most importantly for her age, other children who are very welcoming and friendly.
