KidStrong Alternative in San Diego: Atos Kids Program
A parent called us recently and asked how the kids program at KidStrong compared to the program at Atos Jiu Jitsu HQ.
They had been searching for options locally but could not find a KidStrong in San Diego. The nearest location they found was in Carlsbad, around 40 miles away.
We had not come across KidStrong before, but it sounded like a fun and positive program.
After bringing their daughter in for a free trial class at Atos, they loved it and decided to join.
It also got us thinking.
If other parents are asking the same question, it is worth giving a clear and honest answer.
