The night before Valentine’s Day is a hard one to find a sitter for. So on Friday, February 13, 2026, from 5:30 to 8:30 PM, Brazil 021 Arlington Heights hosted Parents Night Out: three hours of supervised fun for kids while parents had the evening to themselves. Brazil 021 offers Arlington Heights BJJ classes for kids and adults, coached by world champion black belts.
A Pre-Valentine’s Night Out for Parents
The event was built for parents who wanted a dinner date, a movie or just some quiet time, knowing their kids were somewhere safe, supervised and fun. Our jiu-jitsu instructors supervised the whole evening.
What Parents Night Out Included
- Jiu-jitsu games that build movement, coordination and teamwork, introducing basic martial arts ideas in an age-appropriate way
- Movie time with a family-friendly film in a relaxed group setting
- Snacks, so parents did not need to feed kids before drop-off
- Basic self-defense concepts taught through interactive activities that build confidence and awareness
- Supervision by Brazil 021 instructors experienced in working with children
A Safe Place for Kids
Child safety comes first at Brazil 021 Arlington Heights. Our instructors work with kids of different ages and skill levels and make sure every child feels included. The academy at 3350 West Salt Creek Ln #117 gives kids room for active games and a calm spot to wind down with the movie.
