Bujutsu was affiliated with team Norton BJJ, which Professor Richard Norton, a 6th Degree Black Belt, founded. Professor Norton is the man who brought BJJ to Australia. Richard introduced Chuck Norris to the Machado brothers and played an essential role in helping the Machado family establish itself in the BJJ world. Chuck Norris described him as the most all-around martial artist he had ever met. Professor Norton passed in 2025 at the age of 75.
After the passing of Professor Richard Norton, Team Norton BJJ ceased to exist.

It teaches that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant by using leverage and proper technique, most notably by applying Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a great way to equip very young children with the knowledge and skills to use their bodies and voice through structured and fun learning.
Our BJJ for littles focuses on movement, group interaction, and a gentle introduction to martial arts etiquette. Anti-bullying skills are woven into the work, and we teach confident posture, clear words and how to create distance without escalating a situation through safe training practices. If contact happens, students already know basic control and how to call for help, as everything is presented in a friendly setting—all with the camaraderie expected at Bujutsu.
Parents often notice practical changes within weeks, such as better listening, improved self confidence and fewer tears when plans change as we aim not to produce little champions, but to build calm, capable kids who understand boundaries and respect. Day by day, with steady coaching and predictable routines, we see anxious children settle and bold children learn restraint—they find composure under pressure—a lesson that serves them well at school, on the playground and at home and beyond.
Martial Arts Training for Children
Ages 3 to 6 years
Young children feel big emotions, but on the mats at Bujutsu Martial Arts, they learn to slow down, breathe and follow one instruction at a time. Our drills are short and specific, which helps hold attention. As routines become familiar, focus lengthens, frustration softens, and kids discover they can stay calm and finish what they start.
Confidence grows from skill, not shouting, as BJJ teaches posture, eye contact and words before any technique. Children practise safe grips and controlled releases, learning they can protect themselves without hurting others. This ties directly into our Bully Proof Program, which gives them calm assurance to walk away from fights and handle pressure with confidence.
Every class builds fitness through cardio conditioning, playful strength drills and toning exercises. Bear crawls, bridges, shrimps and safe stand-ups sharpen body awareness and balance. Repetition builds timing and control without strain. As coordination improves, falls are gentler, reactions sharper, and everyday tasks—running, climbing, sitting still—become easier and more confident.
Classes open and finish with a bow, teaching the value of respect and good manners. Partners swap roles—one leads, one follows—so everyone learns patience and fair play. Layered into this is self-defence awareness: children practise restraint, control and safe responses that protect themselves while respecting others.
Train in our authentic martial arts classes in a family-friendly, safe environment. Classes for kids and adults.
