I'd say wait until he's at least 7
I disagree! My kid started at 5yrs old and did just fine. Here is a vid i took, these two are 4 years old i believe. You can see they do just fine also, why wait till 7?
Here are a couple vids of him grappling my kid about half a year ago. You can see him using some actual moves in the video, shoots for takedowns, tries to grab arm and bridge when mounted. Decent escapes. My son was going very easy on him because he is smaller, but the younger kid had some good, well learned grappling skills he implemented.
This is there second match that the instructor told my kid to go a little harder in and you can still see the young kid display some good BJJ, rear mount escapes.
And here are two matches of my son 6yrs old grappling kids his own size.:wink:
and his latest match.
Wow he looks great. How old before GB let him start?

2 is a good age. My kid with her grappling team

I think 4yrs old is the youngest they would take, this little guy obviously started a little earlier, but you can actually see him trying to use moves he learned while grappling. Pretty impressive, he gets mounted instantly starts to trap an arm to bridge! Gets one hook, pulls his opponent onto him and secures the second hook.
If taught right kids will eat this technique up!
this is rediculous i cant believe how many people are saying he's too young
the ts is teaching his kid bjj , he's teaching him fun games
its obv it effects the way the kid moves but still
kids wrestle with kids and its not your fault that the other kid cant figure the puzzle out
id say tell your kid not to wrestle with the other kid if the other kid is gonna be a poor sport
and continue somthing that your child prolly enjoys very much
Teaching control and escapes is one thing. Teaching and having young kids attempt submissions is another thing.
Its not as simple as you would like to think it is.
