Boost In Confidence

Trying something new can be more scary than difficult sometimes. But jiu jitsu has a wonderful way of building confidence like nothing ever before ! The struggle of training makes life’s other problems a lot easier to navigate. Some of my students have even said that they feel like the volume of life is turned down after some time doing BJJ

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is especially well-suited as a youth martial art. Every child is unique in their stature, learning ability and physical characteristics. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) provides such a broad scope of techniques and movements that each child adopts only that which is effective for him/her without diminishing the effectiveness of their training. And with any martial arts discipline, common benefits of consistent training include:

  • Increased concentration and focus

  • Increased balance and coordination

  • Increased conditioning, better health

Training also provides mental and emotional empowerment. Some of our kids challenge themselves in the arena of competition, tackling head-on the fear and anxiety leading up to the challenge and the challenge itself, making not only parents and coaches proud but also themselves. This is also true in today’s society where bullying has become pandemic. Some of these added benefits also include:

  • Self-awareness

  • Self-confidence

  • Respect

  • Teamwork

  • Camaraderie

Our goal is to empower your children with the attributes and technical abilities of a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioner, while at the same time instilling the respect and responsibility that comes with acquiring such skills.
