Sensory Roll is a sensory-friendly class that combines the core elements of BJJ with additional physical, social, communication, and sensory supports.

This class is for warriors who have been unable to successfully enter our traditional programs. This could, for example, be due to sensory needs, delayed receptive language, or the need for more focused smaller class sizes.

We’re excited to offer a 6-week trial program running from July 1st through August 6th. This program includes one class per week, with sessions scheduled for Tuesdays or Wednesdays at 4:30 PM, based on class placement. The total cost is $165, which includes a private assessment or lesson (valued at $45) and six weekly classes (valued at $120). All classes will be held in our smaller mat room to provide a more focused and personalized experience. To maintain quality instruction, each class is limited to just 5 participants.

We ask that our sensory warriors:

• Are at least 4 years old.
• Can interact with coaches and peers safely.
• Will remain on the mat for at least 30-45 minutes without eloping (calming area provided, if a break is needed).
• Do not need total 1:1 assistance, but can work in a small group.
• Follow simple step directions.

Core BJJ Training: BJJ movements and techniques of strength, balance, and coordination. Major positions will be covered.

Smaller Class Size: More individualized attention to facilitate participation and success.

Sensory-friendly environment: Greater focus on structure and use of sensory approaches. This will include sensory tools such as fidgets, reinforcers, and visual aids as well as a calming area, if needed.

Social Skill Development: Activities to increase communication skills, social engagement, and understanding of positive values.

Adaptive Curriculum: Dynamic pacing to best promote individual progress.

At the end of this program, our Sensory Warriors may work towards transitioning into one of our traditional kid’s programs if desired and appropriate, or continue with our Sensory Roll program as it develops.
