How To Color These Jiu Jitsu Coloring Pages?
Honestly, when it comes to coloring these jiu jitsu pages, the possibilities are endless—there’s no “right” way to do it, and that’s the fun part. I’ve spent time coloring with my niece and nephew, and they each had such different approaches that it made me realize how personal and creative this process can be.
For the gi (that’s the traditional uniform), you can stick to classic colors like white, black, or blue if you want it to look like what you’d see in a real jiu jitsu class. Or, go totally wild—who says a rainbow gi isn’t a thing? My nephew decided his jiu jitsu fighter needed a camo gi, which I thought was hilarious but also pretty creative.
When it comes to the belts, that’s where it gets really fun. You can use the actual belt progression system—white, blue, purple, brown, and black—or you can create your own. My niece decided her fighter earned a sparkly pink belt because, in her words, “They’re a champion of fabulousness!” Glitter gel pens for the win.
For the background, you could add in a dojo feel by shading the mats or even draw your own audience watching the match. One time, we turned a simple grappling scene into an epic jungle battle with vines, palm trees, and even a curious monkey in the corner.
I’d also recommend experimenting with different mediums. Crayons are great for younger kids, while colored pencils or markers give older kids (and adults, let’s be real) a chance to really layer colors and add shading. If you’ve got metallic pens or those watercolor markers, try them out—they can add a cool, dynamic look to the fighters’ movements.
Most importantly, just have fun with it. Whether you color inside the lines or let the creativity spill out a bit (literally), these pages are all about letting the imagination flow.
10 Craft Ideas To Do With Jiu Jitsu Coloring Pages
Coloring is just the beginning—once you’ve got your jiu jitsu masterpieces, there are so many cool crafts you can make with them! I’ve tried a few of these myself (some with kids, some just because I couldn’t resist), and they’re a fun way to bring those pages to life.
Here are ten craft ideas to do with mine Jiu Jitsu coloring pages:
10. DIY Jiu Jitsu Posters
Once your coloring page is done, glue it onto a piece of colorful cardstock or poster board. Add some stickers, write a motivational quote like “Train Hard, Fight Harder,” and boom—you’ve got wall art for your room or even a dojo vibe for your kid’s corner.
9. Personalized Book Covers
Remember how we used to wrap books in paper bags and decorate them? (Or was that just me?) Take your colored jiu jitsu pages, tape them together, and use them to cover notebooks or journals. Instant upgrade.
8. Custom Greeting Cards
Fold your page in half, write a note inside, and you’ve got a one-of-a-kind card for a jiu jitsu-loving friend or family member. Bonus points if you add a pun like, “You’ve got me in your guard—thanks for being awesome!”
7. Character Puppets
Cut out the fighter from your coloring page, glue it onto some cardboard, and attach a popsicle stick to the back. Now you’ve got a puppet ready for the most epic jiu jitsu storytelling session.
6. DIY Medals
Create a medal by cutting out a circle around the fighter, coloring it gold (or whatever color your champion deserves), and punching a hole at the top. String it onto some ribbon, and voilà —a medal for your favorite grappler.
5. Framed Artwork Gifts
Color your page, pop it into an inexpensive frame, and give it as a gift to a coach, a teammate, or a family member who loves martial arts. It’s thoughtful and personal—plus, it’s way cooler than store-bought stuff.
4. Paper Masks
This one’s a hit with kids. Cut out the face of the fighter, color it however you want, and attach an elastic band to the sides. Suddenly, you’ve got a jiu jitsu superhero ready to “roll.”
3. Scrapbooking
If you’ve got a scrapbook (or want to start one), these coloring pages make an awesome backdrop for pictures from competitions or training sessions. Add some captions or doodles, and it all ties together perfectly.
2. Magnets
Color your page, cut out your favorite part (the fighter, a belt, or even just a cool pose), and glue it onto a piece of magnet sheet. Stick it on your fridge for a daily dose of martial arts motivation.
1. Storyboards
Create a sequence by coloring a few pages and arranging them to tell a story. You can even glue them onto a long strip of paper or tape them together accordion-style. Add captions or speech bubbles for extra flair.
These ideas are perfect for keeping little hands (or even your own) busy and adding a creative twist to my jiu jitsu coloring pages. Honestly, it’s hard to pick a favorite—every time I try one, I come up with another way to use these pages!
