DID YOU KNOW…YOUR CHILD CAN TRY JIU JITSU FOR FREE?
We understand that getting kids to try new things may sometimes be a challenge, so we want to give them the opportunity to learn how much fun they will have at Jiu Jitsu before you commit to signing them up. We invite you to a free trial week of training. There are no strings attached — your child is invited to train their first week of BJJ at no cost or obligation to you. And if you’re looking to sign multiple kids up? Great! Their first week is free, too.
KIDS JIU JITSU
Jiu Jitsu is excellent for kids because it focuses on using leverage (rather than strength) for self defense. Additional benefits for kids include:
-
Jiu Jitsu keeps kids moving and includes components of cardio, mobility, strength, and conditioning. Kids learn basic individual movements which they string together to form intricate sequences which help develop coordination and body awareness.
-
Jiu Jitsu fosters confidence both on and off the mats by showing children that their size does not prevent them from being able to defend themselves.
-
As they practice, students develop autonomy by making choices and reacting to their training partners. Jiu Jitsu presents situations where the outcome depends on level of effort; teaching kids to be accountable for their own success.
-
Jiu Jitsu helps kids learn to be humble in both victory and defeat, and to respect their coaches and training partners. They learn that situations will not always yield the anticipated result, and that effort, attitude, and progress are more important than perfection.
-
Training and interacting with coaches and partners of different ages and ability helps nurture social skills. Jiu Jitsu is a highly collaborative environment where kids encourage and support one another while working through their own obstacles and challenges.
