Roanoke parents agree:
Why Roanoke kids love Kids Jiu-Jitsu Classes
Kids need activities that are engaging and awesome. They have to be cooler than video games, TV, phones and other screen oriented activities that simply aren't beneficial. Kids Jiu-Jitsu is exactly what they want - here's why:
Real Strength
Kids can see their own strength building after only a few weeks. They love to see their strength grow in real time, working each day on becoming the strongest version of themselves.
Amazing Agility
Yes, the reality is that every child thinks they're already a ninja! Once they get into class though, they start learning actual, real 'ninja' moves, and they absolutely love feeling like a superhero.
They feel 'Cool'
Many parents are new to Lindamoods Martial Arts, but almost all kids know how awesome it is to be here. It's a blast, and parents can feel great knowing it's also packed with benefits.
They have FUN!
We're Kids Jiu-Jitsu teachers because we love what we do! That shows through each and every day, and the joy is infectious. It's the most fun activity available for them, hands down!
Kids need programs like Kids Jiu-Jitsu now more than ever...
To help fight and prevent Obesity, kids need to move! The reality though is that our lives aren't set up for movement. With 7+ hour seated school days and busy parent work schedules, it's tough to keep modern kids healthy.
It's too easy for kids nowadays to become sedentary and carry that into adulthood. The healthy habits learned at Kids Jiu-Jitsu can benefit kids for life, and can fight the seemingly inevitable march of adult onset health issues.
More and more it seems inevitable that as kids grow into adults, they slow down and become unhealthy. It doesn't have to be this way, but we have to create healthy movement habits before it's too late.

Congruency
Our goals for our Kids Jiu-Jitsu students are the same as your goals as a parent. Confidence, Self-Esteem, and Healthy Habits for life!

At Lindamoods Martial Arts, it doesn't matter if your child isn't the best kid on the team; they'll never ride the bench. They'll always know they're valued members of class, and part of the team, each and every day.
The Contrast Is Clear
Traditional Sports vs. Kids Jiu-Jitsu Classes
| Traditional Sports | Kids Jiu-Jitsu |
|---|---|
✕Being left out if you're 'not good enough' | All kids are always included, physically gifted or not |
✕Unhelpful, untrained amateur coaches | Trained, caring, professional instructors |
✕Physical skills only; no focus on character development | Physical skills kids love, but an intentional focus on life skills kids need |
✕Too many practices and games, leaving precious little family time | Reasonable expectations for attendance and participation leaving plenty of family time |
What do Actual Lindamoods Martial Arts Parents Say?
"I may be a little biased because Professor Lindamood is a great friend of mine, but my experience with him over the years has shown me one thing clearly: he is a genuinely kind, caring, and dedicated leader. That same care and professionalism shines through in everything he does — as a business owner, a martial arts practitioner, and an educator. If you're looking for a place to train, or a safe and supportive environment for your children, look no further. Professor Lindamood sets the standard."
"I can't say enough about how great a program Bobby runs. The kids classes are fun and educational and I love the connections I've made in the adult BJJ and kickboxing classes. If you're looking for a family oriented, educational and fun program, look no further!"
"Professor Bobby is not just my Coach, he is my brother and friend! BJJ/Martial arts here is not just about learning techniques, it is about slowing down, connecting mind with your body, and honestly expressing your abilities. The culture pushes you to grow, explore, and be your truest self on the mat and in life."
"I've been training at Lindamoods Martial Arts in Bonsack for 7 years and it's been amazing. Professor Lindamood and the team are skilled, patient, and make every class engaging. The community is welcoming, and I've grown stronger and more confident through their gi and no-gi classes. The gym is clean, and the schedule works great. Highly recommend Lindamoods Martial arts to beginners and advanced jiu jitsu practitioners alike!"
"I had a great time training here! Professor Lindamood had a lot of really great insights and pointers for all of us. I love his real world approach to BJJ. If you are in Roanoke and want to learn jiu-jitsu this is by far the best place to train. I look forward to the next time I'm in town and can come drop in for another great class. I highly recommend Lindamood Martial Arts."
