What is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, often called the “gentle art,” is a martial art and combat sport that emphasizes ground fighting and submission techniques. It originated from judo and traditional Japanese Jiu-Jitsu, focusing on using leverage and technique rather than size and strength. This makes BJJ an ideal martial art for kids, as it allows them to successfully defend themselves against larger and stronger opponents through skill and strategy.
Why Should Kids Train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu offers numerous benefits for children, extending far beyond self-defense.
Firstly, BJJ equips kids with practical self-defense skills that are invaluable in real-life situations. More importantly, it promotes physical fitness, helping children develop strength, flexibility, and coordination. The mental discipline required in BJJ fosters focus, perseverance, and resilience, teaching kids how to tackle challenges both on and off the mats.
Moreover, BJJ helps build confidence as children learn to master techniques and achieve their goals. The problem-solving nature of the sport encourages critical thinking and adaptability. Additionally, the BJJ community is supportive and inclusive, providing kids with a positive environment where they can make friends and grow alongside peers who share a passion for martial arts and self-improvement.
Gi & No-Gi Class
In our Kids Gi Class, children delve into the traditional aspects of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu while donning the gi (uniform). This class emphasizes technique, leverage, and strategy, equipping children with the skills to overcome opponents using finesse rather than brute force.
Our Kids No-Gi Class offers an exhilarating approach to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, focusing on techniques that transcend the traditional gi uniform. By removing this aspect, children learn to adapt their skills to diverse situations, honing their abilities for self-defense and dynamic grappling scenarios.
