BOUT 001 · THE DEAL

Games first.
Skills sneak in
while they're not looking.

Little Lemmas is about bullyproofing your kid while teaching them the very fun sport of grappling. A good grappler is confident, mindful, gritty and hard to bully.

Classes are games-based: chasing, balancing, escaping, problem-solving with their whole body. Kids learn takedowns, balance, body control and escapes step by step, and the basics of staying calm when someone is bigger than them. Nobody stands in a line doing drills while an adult barks at them.

What parents tell us they notice

BOUT 002 · WEIGH-IN

Pick a size

two age groups, so the 5 year olds aren't wrestling the 12 year olds.

△ For your kid if…

  • They bounce off the walls after school
  • They're shy and you'd like them a bit less so. Or the opposite: the hyperactive ones burn energy with purpose.
  • They've tried team sports and spent the game picking grass
  • You want them hard to bully and kind about it

△ Not the one if…

  • You want them sparring for trophies at six. This age group does zero competitive sparring.
  • You need holiday care. Classes run in school terms only.
  • They're 3 or 4 (Tiny Kids) or 13+ (Teens).
ROUND 02 · DAY ONE

What day one
looks like

Shorts and a t-shirt, shoes off at the door. A coach says hi and puts them with kids their own size. Forty-five minutes of games that are secretly jiu-jitsu: chasing, balancing, escaping, the world's most productive play-wrestling. You watch from the side. They come off the mat red-faced and asking when the next one is.

The next one is free too.

BOUT 003 · THE QUESTIONS

Parent
questions.
All fair.

How does the free week work?
Book the first class with the button. Every other Little Lemmas class that same week is free too: just turn up. If they loved it, we sort out a membership after. If not, no hard feelings and no card details taken.
Which group, 5–8 or 9–12?
Go by age. Not sure, or they're right on the line? Book the closer one and we'll shuffle them on the day. Kids are shuffle-tolerant.
Is it safe?
Games-based and closely coached. No striking, matched sizes, and this age group does zero competitive sparring. The worst injury is usually a forehead bump. The first thing they learn is how to fall over safely.
Do I stay?
Parents stay courtside: the kids work with the coach and each other. Watching is welcome, phones are optional.
What do they wear?
For the free week, shorts and a t-shirt, bare feet on the mat, water bottle. Later on: a rash guard top, shorts without pockets or zips, and a mouthguard.
Will it make them aggressive?
The reliable effect runs the other way. Kids who wrestle in a rules-based room with an adult watching get less interested in scrapping outside it: it's not novel any more, and they know how much skill they don't have.
How much after the free week?
$25 a week by direct debit, which covers both classes each week. No lock-in contract: pause or cancel any time. Sibling discounts too.
Money's tight.
There are a limited number of free memberships. Email hello@trilemma.com.au and we'll sort it out, no fuss.
What on earth is a Lemma?
A mythical three-horned jackalope that eats bullies. Where have you been? It's also short for Trilemma, the name of the gym.

Right
then.

One free week. Worst case, they hated it and you've lost two afternoons. Best case, Thursday nights just sorted themselves out until they finish primary school.
