Why Do Our Children Should Learn Jiu Jitsu

Gracie 1 Minute

Allowing our kids to practice Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is one of the greatest investments we will ever make.
Reasons why our child should learn this are:

1) DEVELOP SELF-DISCIPLINE
Self-discipline is a life skill that everyone needs to develop, and is one that Gracie Jiu Jitsu is uniquely suited to teach. It takes many repetitions to become good at anything, and self discipline allows us to put in these reps.


2) GAIN CONFIDENCE
One of children’s Jiu Jitsu’s main benefits is the development of confidence. With every achievement their confidence grows, whether that achievement is on a small or large scale.

3) DEVELOP BODY AWARENESS
Young kids are usually uncoordinated and not yet aware of where their body is in space. Body awareness is a skill that has to be developed with stimulation of the muscles and the nervous system.

4) BECOME A BETTER MOVER
Ever wonder why kids are able to get on the floor and crawl, play, turn, toss, and get back up to their feet like it is second nature to them.

5) GROW PHYSICAL AND MENTAL STRENGTH
This is the base for anything that we do in life. Young kids are still developing, and giving them the opportunity to build their strength at an early age will allow them to maintain it for a longer time as they age throughout their life.

6) LEARN SELF-DEFENCE
It’s an unfortunate reality that bullying is extremely common. Jiu Jitsu teaches kids how to mobilize their energy into an art that gives them the power to protect themselves and control their opponents safely.
