Goshinkan Jujitsu Dojo Youth Program
Ages 6 to 12
Goshinkan Dojo is a premier martial arts school for older children. We teach growing children the skills they need to succeed while they learn to protect themselves. Our system and teaching methods are simple and effective, helping your child achieve any goal they set.
Most of our students at Goshinkan Dojo participate in our children’s program. We have many children between the ages of 10 to 12 years old who act as role models for younger children. Our students benefit from an increased sense of responsibility from collaboration with others.
Skills that carry into all other aspects of life
Our Jujitsu activities help children focus and control their behavior. Our programs are energetic and provide a positive outlet for children to work with others. We teach practical, proven self-defense techniques, and help instill core values of respect for people and communities. We explain that martial arts are for fighting back, and not for fighting first. We reinforce that their training is to be practiced in dojo and not on siblings, parents, friends, or neighbors.
What makes Goshinkan Dojo stand apart from other schools?
We feel that our approach to learning is high-energy, exciting, and fun. We bring a realistic and practical perspective to each class with world-class instructors. Our teachers represent some of the best coaches and role models for students in this age group.
Helping your children be sharp, smart, and effective
Bullying is a fact of life and often very prevalent in this age group. We teach students the most effective techniques and strategies to avoid or deal with bullying, and how to defend oneself if physically attacked. Our methods are non-violent and only applied in response to a physical threat. We emphasize techniques are never to be used for the wrong reason.

Our program is well-rounded, inclusive, and diverse, offering a sense of belonging, empowerment, and accountability. We take a real hands-on approach to working with our students. Each student learns how to sweat, smile, and strive for more. We believe that martial arts are a great motivator and helps teach mastery in life. Through regular, dedicated training, every student can learn to master their emotions and behaviors to drive better outcomes in their lives.
“My son is starting his second year at Goshinkan Dojo. He is seven and is always smiling as he does the exercises or is listening with his class. The class has older and younger kids, but they all get along together well and are well supervised.” – Paul J, Merrick, NY
