Joao Crus, creator of the Kids BJJ Blueprint

23+ yearsteaching children through Jiu-Jitsu

A repeatable coaching system built around connection, clarity and purposeful practice.

Drawing on more than 23 years of experience teaching children, Joao introduces a Relational First, Physical Second approach that helps coaches establish connection, create emotional safety and earn attention before asking children to perform.

The goal is not to make every instructor teach with the same personality. It is to give your team a shared structure and language so every child receives a thoughtful, consistent experience.
