Healthy Habits

As an adult we all know about daily stress, but do you recognize the same type of stressors in your child’s life? Kids also deal with relationship struggles and being overworked. Unfortunately, children are also susceptible to depression and anxiety. Learning a martial art can help to reduce stress and anxiety, while promoting healthy behaviors and habits, such as exercise.

Self Defense

Most physical confrontations, especially those started by untrained fighters, will end up on the ground, leaving potential victims vulnerable, but this fighting style takes the perceived disadvantage and turns it into a strength through techniques learned in class

Confidence

Jiu Jitsu is challenging and requires focus and sustained discipline. For those who stick with the practice, confidence and awareness is a natural side effect.

Respect

In class we learn to respect everyone and everything such as Parents, Teachers, and other Adults. Many Children who only experience social situations with those from similar backgrounds can develop biases and stereotypes, which may lead to disrespect and often confrontation. However, as our classes are open to everyone, children will meet and work with people who come from varying backgrounds.

Humility

One of the critical components of any martial art is learning how to be humble in both victory and defeat.

Friendship

This is a natural progression in training. While it may seem strange that students who are pitted against one another in sparring sessions would be friends, the mutual struggle and practice lead to a bond in commonality and community. Jiu Jitsu also teaches children to face the unknown with confidence, which means they are often more willing to introduce themselves to other students.

Commitment

Some martial art forms do not allow for daily practice, especially with 100% effort. However, Jiu Jitsu does allow for such practice because, during training, there is minimal risk of significant injury.

Goal Setting

Everyone starts as a white belt, learning the fundamentals before progressing through each subsequent phase in their training. The bottom-up approach is a great way to demonstrate goal setting and the need for practice. There is a sense of accomplishment in achieving even the smallest objectives, which will help your child plan and prepare for other projects in the same way.

Focus

A huge skill development is Focus. Many times a child starts off unable to pay attention to direction. It’s critical to pay attention to your surroundings and position while training. This level of focus can be taken beyond training into other aspects of your child’s life, including their schoolwork, chores, sports, and relationships.

Dealing with Failure

You or your child like everyone else who steps onto the mats, will experience failure during training, but they will learn that it is not the end of their journey. They will understand that failing is a part of the work. Students become empowered by failure, motivated to do better and improve their skills. We want them to achieve great success, and a healthy relationship with failure is essential to real growth.
