Stonecoast Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for Kids

Perfect for kiddo to learn concentration and their strengths and learning to respect each other.

My 4 year old daughter has been going here for almost a year and we absolutely love it. The coaches are fantastic with all of the children and truly care about their development. You won't get these tools and life lessons anywhere else. Special shout-out to Coach Durfee for welcoming her after everyone else turned her away due to age. We highly recommend Stonecoast to everyone and are in it for the long haul. Thank you for everything you do, we appreciate you all.♥️

Our son can be shy in new situations, and the instructors were so understanding and patient, letting him join class at his own pace and not pressuring him to jump in before he was comfortable. They also sent him a welcome postcard after his first class, which made him feel so special. They do a fantastic job with the kids, keeping things fun and engaging while showing proper technique and also teaching them how to be respectful of others. I cannot say enough good things about Stonecoast.

Great place for kids to learn who they are, life long self defense, how to control there emotions physically, mentally and socially. Shaun and his team are very professional and educate their students very well.

Our children love Stonecoast. The coaches and other families there have given my children the perfect blend of athletic skill, emotional intelligence, and fun social interaction. We are super grateful for all the experiences we have had. The program is affordable and worth the time and money spent. The coaches give space for each child/family to see how much time and commitment they prefer. It can be as relaxed or full-on as you make it. We have recommended Stonecoast to multiple families and every one of them has joined us so far. Definitely worth checking out.

My daughter started going to Stonecoast about six months ago and I have never seen her so happy. Not only does she enjoy the classes, she had made some great friends. Everyone here is friendly and inviting. I recommend this place, especially if you have a kid who doesn’t like regular school sports.

Very good experience. My son loved the classes. Instructors do a fantastic job keeping all the children on task and redirecting when needed. Highly recommend Stonecoast.

Best kids jiu jitsu school in the state. Both of our girls love Stonecoast, we do too.

I have 4 sons and they are involved in a number of sports/hobbies. We have searched many years, looking for the perfect martial arts program. There are facilities which claim to be "martial arts", but upon further analysis I find their main pull is the after school day cares and summer camps, leaving martial arts as an afterthought. After asking trusted members of my community, I was pointed in the direction of Stonecoast. We have not been disappointed! The school's teachings are in-line with the type of men I want my boys to become. There is an emphasis on love and respect, the coaches guide my boys how to protect themselves, grow self confidence, and give them skills to be proud of. My husband is a tough critic, and after sitting in a few classes, stated that he "wished all of the boys' coaches taught like the coaches at Stonecoast." Truly, they could get away with charging a lot more than they do, and I am praying they never catch onto how cheap they are; what they give of themselves in order to love and teach the children at their school is priceless. My husband has an incredibly busy schedule, and it is important for our family to surround itself with a community we can grow with. When he isn't around, I wan't them to look up to people they can aspire to emulate. My boys respect, admire and look up to the coaches. Their character improves with the lessons because they want to be better, not because they feel pressured or forced. Stonecoast is a gem in Maine and we are grateful to be a part of it.

This has been far the most rewarding program for kids. Sinse my daughter started a few months ago,the change in her is remarkable. She has more confidence in her self,she can walk tall with a smile on her face. She can walk through those stonecoast doors and feel the love and respect from all the coaches and her teammates. Coach Durfee teaches his kids to love and respect one another,and most importantly to love and respect themselves, And SAFETY first.. I highly recommend Stonecoast for Kids..
