***Now Enrolling New Students Into Our 42 DAY INTRO TO JIU JITSU CHALLENGE
They struggle to maintain control of their movements and may be unintentionally destructive.
They find it difficult to focus on a task or to see it through to the end.
They have a hard time sharing their belongings and getting along with other kids.
You must balance their natural inquisitiveness and high energy with trying to teach them the basic skills they need for school and life.
Discipline, sharing, and self-control are all things they need to learn to be successful.
The ideal setting is one that’s got some structure but works with kids at their current developmental level. If they have fun while they’re learning, they’ll be more likely to retain those lesson and learn the skills they need.
Studying Jiu Jitsu is ideal for young children. It provides them with an outlet for their energy. But, it also teaches them about respect, discipline, and other core values that will go with them beyond the mat. Kids Jiu Jitsu classes teach kids to control their movements and behavior, and they’ll learn social skills and interaction at the same time.
Young children who learn Jiu Jitsu find out quickly that each movement must be intentional. They learn to control their movements to the best of their ability.
They also practice hand-eye coordination and learn about their bodies. That means they’ll be less likely to be unintentionally destructive.
Getting young kids to pay attention can feel like an impossible task. The structure of our Kids Jiu Jitsu classes shows kids the importance of focus and teaches them by having them apply it to easily-achievable tasks.
The focus they learn in the dojo is something they’ll take home – and into the classroom. That’s why kids who study martial arts tend to be good students, too.
Losing is not anybody’s idea of fun, but we all need to learn how to accept a defeat gracefully and move on. We teach students that losing is part of life – and it’s what you do after you lose that tells people who you are.
Even though Kids Jiu Jitsu is an individual sport, we cultivate an environment of supportive teamwork where students root for one another.
