Rietberg Montessori School & Vera BJJ Kids

At Vera Jiu-Jitsu School, we believe that Jiu-Jitsu is one of the most powerful paths in sports for a child’s personal, physical, and mental development.

Our mission is to cultivate focus, discipline, and self-confidence, all in a fun, engaging, and supportive environment.

Children are always our top priority. That is why, beyond our physical academy, we have created interdisciplinary school projects designed to make Jiu-Jitsu more accessible and to support children’s integration into this complete and transformative sport.

We are proud and excited to introduce Vera Jiu-Jitsu Kids, in collaboration with Rietberg Montessori School, bringing this meaningful experience directly to your children.

We warmly invite you to register your child and become part of this inspiring journey.

Together, we build stronger, more confident, and resilient children, on and off the mats

Our Collaboration with Montessori School for Kids 6-12

At Montessori School, we offer a structured and seamless program designed to make participation simple and safe for families.

We personally pick up the children directly from the school and accompany them to our academy under the supervision of our qualified instructor. The children remain fully supervised throughout the entire transition and training period. After class, parents pick them up directly from our school.

This system ensures convenience for families while maintaining the highest standards of safety and organization.

Classes take place once per week, every Tuesday - (4 pm- 4:45pm).

Our goal is to provide a smooth, professional, and enriching experience that supports both the children and their families.
