The brain is the control centre for all the body’s functions,
thinking functions, our emotions, how we behave and all our
intellectual activities.
The brain develops its full capacity by age 10-12, so it’s
critical that we as parents to give full support for early
childhood brain development for their future benefits.
Gymnastics is known as the best cross training sport and also one
of the best kids activity for it. Get your child involved and
enjoy how your child learns fantastic skills while developing
their physical and mental ability lead by their brain development!
We take pride in being a leading gymnastics school for the country
of Jamaica, provided first home-grown gymnasts to 2015&2017 world
championships and many junior national gymnasts.
The program created by Japanese coach, Mr. Shin Nishida
(CEO/Managing Director of Nishida’s Gymnastics) and the
combination of the grading & competition system leads your child
to achieve their goal one level at a time and will keep
challenging the kids for their own best!
Currently, over 600-700 kids enjoy Gymnastics with Nishida’s all
over Jamaica!
Coach Nishida started his scholarship program with children from
Grants Pen area in 2006.
Now two of these children are elite gymnasts, one competed at 2017
World Championships representing Jamaica are still working for
their Olympic dream while working as our instructor!
Same scholarship program is going on with selected children from
Shortwood Primary school, and we also provide free/least cost

Parade Garden community, down town Kingston.
We hope to provide educational opportunity and make an impact on
their early childhood development and healthy life style!

Welcome and thank you for your trust and support to our gymnastics
program!
Gymnastics taught me so many things, self-discipline, patience,
not to never give and ‘things seems like impossible can be
achieved by making effort’…To help our children to learn these
life lessons is the reason that we do our gymnastics school!
We hold commitment to ensuring that we will do our best to make
gymnastics meaningful to children. We hope that the experiences
that our gymnasts gained through gymnastics will become an
important factor of the development for their life. Just like it
did to me!
We are looking forward to see you at our class, again we welcome
you to Nishida’s Gymnastics Family!
Apple’s got into Talladega College! Jamilia’s Our longest running most senior and highest performance Pre-Elite level 10 gymnast was offered a scholarship to Talladega University in Alabama in May of 2023. Talladega is one of the premiere private colleges for black students in the Southeastern US.
With a long list of world class Alumnae, and among one of the best HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) - This came as wonderful news to both Jamilia and her coaches who were hoping she would be able to continue her athletic career into the senior’s division once she completed her time in the optional competitive training program at Nishida’s Short wood branch.
She’s since matriculated seamlessly into her new home at TC with her teammates and coaches singing the same praises familiar to those given by their counterparts in Jamaica: “Having competed on the international level, Jamilia has adapted to collegiate gymnastics extremely well. Her dedication to this sport and her team will be a tremendous asset this season. ” - Sims-Fletcher Head Coach of TC WAG team.
