Learning Self Defense and Confidence.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instills confidence in children. Through training, children master self-defense techniques, learn to control an attacker, and neutralize them in a realistic situation. They will learn:
Children learn to socialize in a disciplined environment where they can feel safe from bullying.
This leads to the confidence to explore other activities such as sports. Kids who train often feel confident enough to explore cartwheels, break-falls, push-ups, and tumbling.
They deal with the pressure to fit in, succeed in school, and make friends. Learning and training in martial arts provides exercise which is scientifically proven to reduce stress. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu also provides a healthy outlet for difficult emotions.
Children who train in martial arts learn to be humble in victory and defeat. They learn to congratulate opponents and be patient with themselves during the learning process. Students humble themselves as they take direction from instructors, learning essential listening skills and confidence.
Children begin training as a white belt and set goals to progress through stages of mastery. As they progress, they earn successive colors of belts to celebrate their achievement and mark their status. Learning to set goals becomes a part of children’s core character development that will stay with them for life.
It is critical to pay attention to your surroundings during training. Children learn to focus intensely while learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. This focus level becomes part of how your child thinks and behaves and can extend to chores, friendships, and schoolwork.
Setbacks and dealing with failure are a natural part of learning any martial art. Sometimes children will struggle to master a new technique or will lose a match. They will learn to accept defeat humbly, understand that they are learning, brush themselves off, and try again.
