Kids programs

Where kids build confidence, discipline & friendships for life

Our kids program is one of the things we are most proud of. From our littles class (ages 4–6) to our regular kids classes starting at age 7, every child gets real coaching, real technique, and a room full of encouragement.

Parents tell us their kids come home more focused, more respectful, and more confident. That is not an accident — it is the culture we build every single class. Kids learn to work hard, support their teammates, and handle challenges with a calm mind.

Ages 4 and up

Littles (4–6) and kids classes (7+) with age-appropriate instruction.

Jiu Jitsu & Muay Thai

Gi fundamentals, no-gi grappling, and striking — kids get the full experience.

Regular kids classes start at 7

Our kids program is designed for ages 7 and up — building real technique, discipline, and confidence.

Unlimited classes

Kids can attend as many classes as they want, every single week.

Aura Jiu Jitsu students training on the mats

Our promise to every student

You will never be thrown into the deep end. We teach with structure, keep training safe, and help you build confidence on and off the mats — whether you are 4 years old or 75.

Our 3 expectations for everyone

1To forget about the outside world for an hour or so
2To learn some Jiu Jitsu
3To leave feeling better than before you walked in

If we can all help each other reach these expectations, we will all be better for it.

Why Aura?

At its core, an aura is the energy you bring into a space. It is your presence, your attitude, your mindset. It is the feeling people experience when they are around you.

As a woman owned business, a female aura represents quiet strength, the courage to stand tall in challenges, and the compassion that uplifts everyone around it.

Aura is about creating an environment that is positive, uplifting, and focused on growth. It is about showing up with intention, supporting each other, and building something bigger than ourselves. It's the quiet confidence to improve every day and the discipline to keep going when things get hard.

We believe great academies are built on that energy. And when we look at what we have built at Aura — this is who we are.

The atmosphere on our mats, the way we support each other, the willingness to learn, and the energy we bring into the room — that is the Aura of this academy.

What students say about training at Aura Jiu Jitsu

When the culture is right, training sticks. Here is the kind of feedback we earn from students and families across Racine County.

Ben

★★★★★

“I have been training at Aura in Mount Pleasant since they opened this location in 2023. Nick and Brittany are an amazing duo and have created a fantastic culture among the members. All of my kids have tried Jiu Jitsu at Aura with my 7-year-old loving it for the past two years. It’s a great way to challenge yourself physically and mentally, leave whatever else is on your mind at the door, and maybe even learn Jiu Jitsu. There’s a great mix of people at all skill levels, so if you’re interested at all you should check out Aura in Mount Pleasant!”

Evelyn

★★★★★

“Amazing place to train!!! Brittany and Nick have done an absolutely amazing job with the place and are the best coaches I could ask for. They welcomed me into the gym with open arms when I started to train with them. The community is great and it really is one big family!”

Anthony

★★★★★

“I and my 2 grandchildren have been attending since the beginning of the year and the only thing I regret is not starting sooner. The coaches and students are very welcoming and patient with us newbies. Plus even more important, the kids love it. Thank you to all that have helped the kids and I feel welcomed and look forward to every class.”

Collin

★★★★★

“Overall great gym. This place stands out for its great training and culture. Whether you are brand new to martial arts or an experienced grappler there is a place for you. The only bad thing is that I didn’t start sooner.”

Frequently asked questions about Aura Jiu Jitsu

New to martial arts? Here are answers to the most common questions we hear from beginners, parents, and anyone considering Jiu Jitsu or Muay Thai in Mount Pleasant.

Do I need experience to start Jiu Jitsu?

No. Most of our students start as complete beginners with zero martial arts experience. Our fundamentals program is designed to teach you everything from the ground up — safely and at your own pace.

Do I need to be in shape to start Jiu Jitsu?

Not at all — you'll get in shape by training! Jiu Jitsu meets you where you are. Every class builds strength, flexibility, and cardio naturally. Just show up, and your body will catch up.

What should I wear to my first BJJ or Muay Thai class?

Athletic clothes (shorts or leggings and a t-shirt) and a water bottle. If you have a gi, bring it — but you do not need one to start. We sell gis and gear on-site when you are ready.

Is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu safe for beginners?

Yes — when it is coached well. At Aura Jiu Jitsu, we prioritize controlled training, clear rules, and partner safety. You will never be thrown into the deep end or paired beyond your level.

Do you offer kids martial arts classes in Mount Pleasant?

Absolutely. We offer kids Jiu Jitsu (ages 7+), a littles program (ages 4–6), and kids kickboxing. Every class focuses on confidence, discipline, coordination, and safe partner work.

Do you offer Muay Thai and kickboxing classes?

Yes. We have adult Muay Thai classes on Tuesday and Friday evenings, plus kids kickboxing on Tuesdays. All classes are beginner-friendly and focus on clean technique, padwork, and conditioning.

What is the Pedro Sauer Jiu Jitsu Association?

The Pedro Sauer BJJ Association is one of the most respected Jiu Jitsu organizations in the world. Our lineage connects directly to Grand Master Hélio Gracie — the founder of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Aura Jiu Jitsu is a proud affiliate.

Can I try a class before committing?

Of course. We encourage everyone to come try a class first — no pressure, no commitment. It's the best way to feel the energy of the room and see if Aura is the right fit for you.
