Meet Professor Lucas
Professor Lucas brings years of Jiu Jitsu experience to Temple, but just as importantly, he genuinely understands kids. As a dad himself and someone who works with children every day, he knows when to challenge them, when to encourage them and how to make them feel comfortable on the mats.
He has built a kids program that balances fun with real Jiu Jitsu, while teaching the discipline, respect and confidence that are such an important part of Temple.
Find Your Child's Class
From three year olds taking their first steps on the mat to teens sharpening their technique, there's a class that fits your child.
Ages 3 – prepA shared first step onto the mats. Parents and kids train together in a structured, family friendly class, learning real Jiu Jitsu fundamentals side by side. It's a chance to share the mats with your child, learn together and introduce them to Jiu Jitsu in a fun and supportive environment.

- Coordination, balance and body awareness
- Respect for coaches and classmates
- A gentle, playful introduction to Jiu-Jitsu
Ages 4 – 7Our Little Kids classes are fun and energetic, with plenty of structure behind the fun. Kids learn real Jiu Jitsu while also learning to listen to their coaches, work well with a training partner, keep trying when something is difficult and understand the importance of respect on the mats. They also build vital problem solving skills by connecting new moves to what they already know.
- Games-based learning that keeps kids engaged
- Discipline, attention and respect
- Problem-solving through movement
- Confidence from the very first class
Ages 8 – 13Structured technique and live drilling. As they progress, their training becomes more technical, more challenging and more independent. Big Kids learn a practical self defence system and develop the calm, collected confidence to handle bullying and prevent altercations, all while forming strong bonds with training partners.
- Full technical curriculum with belt progression
- Live drilling and supervised rolling
- Practical self defence and anti bullying skills
- Technical development and independent learning
Teens 13+ are welcome in our adult Beginners classes, and private lessons are available for kids ready for the next step.
