Kids have a natural proclivity for grappling. How often have you seen your children wrestling on the floor of your living room? Brazilian Jiu Jitsu provides a great way to channel that energy into something productive and rewarding.
Our classes combine the basics of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with fun and exciting skill-oriented exercises and games to improve their gross motor skills, coordination, strength, flexibility, and agility. Besides these physical benefits and self defense skills, kids in the program receive the following social benefits:
- Character development
- Better focusing and listening skills
- Sportsmanship
- Goal setting
- Self-discipline/self-control
- Improved social and interpersonal skills
- Greater respect for adults and peers
- Greater confidence and self-esteem (especially in children that are shy or have been bullied in school)
- Conflict/peer pressure management (we teach our kids to be assertive, but not aggressive)
Ultimately, we try to ensure that the kids in our program are happier and healthier and have the qualities and skills that will help them throughout their entire lives.
