What Is GMA Cubs?
GMA Cubs is a specially designed martial arts program for 3-4 year olds, delivered in a parent-assisted format. You are never watching from the sidelines - you are on the mat with your child the entire class.
We use age-appropriate elements of BJJ and Karate, delivered through games - because at this age, everything should feel like play.
No experience needed - from either of you. We celebrate effort, not perfection.
Parents are often surprised by how quickly their little one settles in. The parent-assisted format means children feel safe from day one.
- Coach Lili Costa - Head Kids Coach - GMABeside your child every moment - not watching from a chair.
Perfectly calibrated for toddler attention spans.
Every skill taught through games. Never feels like training.
Designed specifically for this age - not a scaled-down class.
For your child or for you. We start from the beginning together.
No rushing, no pressure. Every child exactly where they need to be.
Everything You Need to Know
What Parents Notice Within Weeks
These are the changes GMA Cubs parents consistently report - often within the first few sessions.
Children who barely entered the room begin running onto the mat. Visible week to week.
Following instructions in class carries over at home. Parents notice the difference within weeks.
30 minutes of genuine shared activity - both of you fully present and engaged.
Balance, coordination and body awareness that benefits every sport your child may go on to play.
When they step into Young Jaguars or Young Lions, they already know the mat, coaches, and culture.
Coach Lili understands this age group deeply. Years of experience with young children across martial arts.
The GMA Pathway
Meet Coach Lili
What Parents Are Saying
My daughter was so shy she wouldn't let go of my hand. By week three she was running onto the mat ahead of me. Being there with her made all the difference.
I was worried my son was too young but Coach Lili was incredible with him. It is the highlight of our week - 30 minutes of real connection, and he listens better at home too now.
Now our daughter asks every week if it's "Cubs day". She's more confident, follows instructions better, and we have something special that is just ours to do together.
