More than something to add to the calendar
For parents & guardians
You want your child to enjoy being active — and to feel good about where they train, who teaches them and what they’re learning.
Perhaps your child hangs back when something is unfamiliar. Perhaps they have plenty of energy but haven’t found an activity they enjoy. Or perhaps you’re simply looking for a constructive alternative to another evening spent on a screen.
Start with the questions that matter to your family. Learn about the class, understand what is involved, and see whether REVO could be the right place for your child to begin.

A good first step starts with the right questions
Worth asking before day one
“I want something beyond screen time.”
Make room in the week for an activity your child takes part in — not just watches. Explore a different way to spend that time together.
“I want confidence, not aggression.”
REVO’s kids’ program emphasizes respect, focus and age-appropriate self-defence. Ask how those priorities are put into practice in class.
“Can this work around our routine?”
School, work, dinner and other activities all need a place in the week. Check the program’s schedule before choosing your next step.
“What should I know before committing?”
Ask about age suitability, equipment, membership options and the introductory class. A useful conversation should leave you with clearer answers — not more pressure.

Questions parents ask before getting started
Straight answers
01What ages can join the kids’ program?
Kids Gi Jiu-Jitsu is REVO’s children’s program and welcomes beginners as well as children developing their skills. Age and previous experience can affect which class is appropriate, so ask our team to confirm the right starting point before booking.
02Does my child need previous Jiu-Jitsu experience?
No. REVO’s Kids Gi Jiu-Jitsu program welcomes beginners. Let us know that this would be your child’s first class so we can discuss the appropriate starting point and explain what to expect.
03What if my child feels shy or nervous?
You don’t have to pretend they’re excited when they’re unsure. Let our team know before the visit and ask how new children are introduced to the class.
An introductory visit is an opportunity to learn about the environment and discuss whether it feels appropriate for your child.
04How is safety handled in children’s Jiu-Jitsu?
REVO’s kids’ instruction is structured and age-appropriate. Jiu-Jitsu involves physical contact, so no class is completely risk-free.
Ask how the class handles supervision, training partners, contact and stopping an exercise. Discuss any individual participation or access concerns privately with the team before booking.
05Can Jiu-Jitsu help with concerns about bullying?
REVO’s Kids Gi program includes confidence, respect and self-defence among its aims. However, no class can guarantee that bullying will stop or that a child can handle every confrontation.
If your child is being bullied, involve their school and other appropriate supports. The responsibility for addressing bullying shouldn’t be placed on the child alone.
06Does my child need a uniform or special equipment?
Ask our team what is required for the introductory class and for ongoing training. Confirm whether a uniform or other equipment must be purchased, whether anything is supplied, and what those costs are before making a purchase.
07How much does the kids’ program cost?
Ask us about the current membership options, what is included and any separate equipment or registration costs. You can also ask about a free Kids Gi Jiu-Jitsu class.
08When are the children’s classes?
Kids Gi Jiu-Jitsu runs Monday and Wednesday, 6:30 – 7:30 PM. Please confirm the current timetable and the appropriate class before attending.
09Where is REVO located?
We’re at 533 Brant St, Suite 201, Burlington, ON L7R 2G6. Check your arrival route and current downtown parking information before visiting, and contact the team in advance about building access or other arrival questions.
10How do I enquire about a class?
Select “Find my child’s class” to open the kids’ enquiry form, choose the program and enter a parent or guardian’s contact details. You’ll then be able to pick a time on the kids’ calendar.
Submitting an enquiry doesn’t, by itself, confirm a class booking — your class isn’t booked until you receive a booking confirmation.
