About Talos Tots

Welcome to Talos Tots at Talos Grappling! Our exciting programme is specially designed for children aged 3–5 in Belfast, Lisburn, and Dunmurry.


Through fun games, movement challenges, and beginner Brazilian Jiu Jitsu activities, your child will learn new skills while having a blast with friends.


Our classes are all about building confidence, improving coordination, and helping little ones stay active in a safe, friendly environment. Every session is packed with smiles, teamwork, and age-appropriate activities that keep children engaged and excited to come back.


Brazilian Jiu Jitsu teaches kids how to use balance, movement, and technique in a playful way, helping them develop body awareness and confidence without the need for rough or intense training.


Most importantly, Talos Tots is a place where children can run, play, laugh, and make new friends while learning valuable life skills along the way.

FAQs

  • What ages does this programme cover?

    The programme is open to young people aged 3 - 5.

  • Is my child ready to start classes?

    To help ensure every child has a positive and enjoyable experience in class, we ask that they are able to:


    • Use the toilet independently, with only minimal assistance if needed (and no longer be in nappies).
    • Attend the full class without a parent or guardian present.
    • Communicate their needs clearly to the coach.
    • Ask and answer simple questions, and follow basic instructions.

  • Do you need any experience to start training?

    No, our classes are designed for all experience levels. Most of our students starts with no prior experience. Your child will be taught exercises and techniques appropriate for their skill level.

  • Does a parent of guardian need to be present for the classes?

    For the first class, a parent or legal guardian needs to be present to sign a waiver form. (if not already completed)


    The Talos Tots course is designed to help young people develop independence, which is a key lesson to learn in martial arts (self-defence). As such, parents do not need to supervise classes. 


    We would appreciate if parents remain close in case of unexpected toilet breaks etc.

  • When do classes take place?

    Classes are Saturdays from 10.30am - 11.15am

  • What equipment do you need to start?

    For the first class, shorts, t-shirt , water and flip flops/crocs are fine. 


    Ensure nails are trimmed short 


    After your free trial has finished we would encourage you to purchase a gi (uniform) to train - we recommend scramblestuff.com / tatamifightwear.com 


    We are happy to advise on any sizing / equipment queries you may have.

  • How much is it?
