About the Program
Potential Jiu Jitsu is a Brazilian jiu jitsu academy at 9640 W Tropicana Ave in Spring Valley, Las Vegas, with kids classes for ages 4 and up. Kids are grouped by age and skill: Little Warriors for ages 4 to 6 focuses on movement and coordination, Youth Jiu Jitsu for ages 7 to 12 moves into technique, and an Advanced Kids' Training group serves kids who want to go further.
A typical kids class starts with warm-ups and games, then technique drills such as escapes, takedowns and holding position, then controlled practice with a partner. The academy says classes are led by founder Kris Olivo, a black belt under Robert Drysdale and a U.S. Air Force veteran.
The easiest way to test it is the free 3-day pass, which gives three beginner classes plus use of the recovery room, with no obligation to sign up. Arrive 15 minutes early for orientation the first day. Memberships include month-to-month options with no long-term contract, and the academy gives pricing on request, so call (702) 972-5971 for rates. Kids train in a Potential Jiu Jitsu gi and belt for gi classes and a rash guard and shorts for no-gi, all sold at the academy, and they need flip-flops for walking off the mats. The academy runs morning, evening and weekend classes, so ask which kids slots fit around the CCSD school day.

First Visit Guide
What most martial arts schools expect. Confirm the details with Potential Jiu Jitsu before you go.
What to bring
- A t-shirt and shorts or joggers. You don't need a uniform for a trial class. Schools sell or include one when you sign up.
- Water bottle
- Shoes that slip off easily, since everyone is barefoot on the mat
Before you go
- Trim fingernails and toenails. It's a mat rule almost everywhere.
- Leave the jewelry at home.
- Arrive 10 minutes early so your child can watch the class before theirs and see how it works.
The first visit
Most dojos run a free or cheap trial. Expect bowing in, warm-ups, and basic stances. Teachers see first-timers every week and will put your child at the back where they can copy the older kids.
For sensory-sensitive kids
Ask about class size and whether there's a slower intro class. The line-up-and-bow structure is the same every single class, and that predictability is exactly why a lot of kids with ADHD or autism end up loving martial arts once it's familiar.
