Welcome
Vera Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the new jiu-jitsu program dedicated to children, located in ENGE in the heart of ZÜRICH!
Our vision is to preparing children for life!
Respect, focus, and confidence are the most important things kids walk away with in our classes. It's more than helping your child succeed on the mat; it's about helping your child succeed in life.
We believe that the training your child receives will last a lifetime! Martial arts, especially Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, will increase their self-esteem and confidence as they are presented with new challenges in a fun, safe atmosphere. Your child will have a head start in life because they will be ready to deal with tough situations such as peer pressure and bullying, and most importantly, your child will have FUN AND LOTS OF IT!
How VERA Brazilian jiu-jitsu can help kids
- FRIENDSHIP AND MUTUAL RESPECT : The friendships formed on the mat are among the strongest and most reliable.
- COMPLETE IMMERSION : With a dynamic and engaging program, children have fun and become increasingly motivated with every class.
- FUN : Jiu-Jitsu activities keep children engaged and entertained while they unknowingly learn the fundamentals of the art.
- SELF-DEFENSE : By learning fundamental self-defense techniques and concepts, your child will experience a significant boost in self-confidence.
- ANTI-BULLYING :All Jiu-Jitsu techniques are based on basic leverage, not violence. This helps children learn to defend themselves against bullies without becoming one.
- DISCIPLINE AND HEALTH : Our teaching and grading system rewards individual effort, encouraging children to follow the path of discipline and adopt healthy habits.

Frequently asked questions
What exactly is BJJ?
BJJ is a martial art that originated in Brazil and focuses on grappling and ground fighting techniques. BJJ emphasizes joint locks, chokeholds, and positional control to force an opponent to submit. It is a great option for children being physically bullied as it allows them to control and end an altercation without hitting someone and getting in trouble.
Is VERA BJJ safe for children?
BJJ is safer than contact sports like football or hockey but still carries some injury risk. Instructors must ensure a safe environment with proper technique and supervision during training.
Wil BJJ make my children more agressive?
Many believe martial arts promote aggression, but Brazilian jiu-jitsu teaches discipline, self-control, and respect. It focuses on non-violent self-defense techniques and fosters sportsmanship, kindness, and courtesy toward training partners.
What do I need to get my child started in BJJ?
To get started in BJJ, your child will need a gi (uniform), which can usually be purchased through the program or online. It’s also essential to ensure that they have appropriate protective gear, such as a mouthguard and rashguard. Vera Instructors will provide guidance on any additional equipment or requirements.

Make the first step!
VERA Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu not only promotes discipline and respect—qualities traditionally associated with martial arts training—but also cultivates essential skills such as autonomy, body awareness, frustration tolerance, and the ability to work cooperatively.
When children are introduced to these concepts at an early age, our society’s chances of addressing pervasive issues like lack of direction, burnout, and youth violence improve significantly. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu provides children with a playful and engaging way to develop these crucial life skills, helping to prevent such challenges before they arise.
We are excited to guide your children on their new journey
