Parents often ask should my child participate in martial arts or a Brazilian jiu jitsu class? This is completely normal, and I often find myself discussing the many reasons why jiu-jitsu is a great way for children to develop when asked this question.

Does your child need a fun activity that will teach them numerous life skills to carry them throughout their development?

Is your child struggling with?

Focus
Does your child find it difficult to focus on tasks or stick with activities until the end because they become distracted?

Sharing
Does your child struggle to share their belongings with friends or siblings leading to confrontation and difficulty making friends?

Coordination
Does your child struggle to control their movement and even unintentionally become destructive in some cases?

Confidence
Does your child struggle with self-confidence and expressing their feelings leading to difficulty in group activities?

As parents we are always teaching our kids not to hit others and to play nice, but the unfortunate reality is 25% of children are victims of bullying throughout their life.

Being powerless and defenseless to bullying is unfair and jiu-jitsu training can be the ideal pathway to overcoming these challenges in life.

The life-skills learned through jiu-jitsu will arm your children with the discipline, resilience, endurance, coordination, body awareness and self-esteem to tackle all of the challenges that life throws at them.
