- Uses Techniques instead of strength
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is the ideal method of self
defense for kids since it emphasizes leverage and technique over
strength
and power. This focus makes it possible for all children to excel,
regardless of their size or athletic ability.
BJJ
vs Karate or Tae Kwon Do
- Ideal for diffusing school
fights
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu enables practitioners to
subdue their opponents without the use of punching and kicking,
eliminating
the need to use excessive force in a real-life self-defense situation.
BJJ is a martial art that uses grappling techniques and is ideal
for diffusing school fights. Nobody has to get hurt with Jiu-Jitsu.
The idea of "tapping out" during training allows the
students to keep their training realistic, yet safe.
The Benefits of
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for your Child?
Below are some of the benefits of training with
Zingano Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
Martial Art Builds
Self Confidence & Self
Esteem
For many children, self confidence doesn't come
naturally. Confidence is developed over a period of time and as
a child accomplishes new goals, his or her confidence level increases.
Children gain self esteem and exhibit confidence with their new-found
Jiu-Jitsu techniques, but a good instructor will constantly stress,
in class, the value of knowing when to use their skills--for self
defense or in competition only! Kids with a high sense of self-esteem
have the confidence to stand up for themselves, be more out spoken
and more inclined to help others. The confidence gained allows
their individual personalities to shine.
Learn BJJ Skills
for Better
grades
Being a Jiu-Jitsu student also means being a
better student in school. Kids who participate in Jiu-Jitsu are
proven to have better attention spans. They also learn respect,
discipline and responsibility. They learn gratitude, loyalty, the
importance of staying in school and keeping their bodies healthy
and drug free. Every child learns to follow directions, pay attention,
participate in class activities and work as a team. These skills
help them to become better students.
Learning
Coordination Early in Life
Kids learn motor movement at a very early age.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu challenges the entire body, developing coordination,
balance, agility and poise. These traits are often neglected and
not fully developed in team sports. By starting children in Jiu-Jitsu
they learn how to fall properly, and how to initiate movement patterns
that are inherent to life and any sport they might choose down
the road. We also begin basic fitness and calisthenics that will
give them a leg-up on their peers who do not engage in fitness
activities at an early age.
Learn discipline
and perseverance In Jiu-Jitsu, kids are ranked in a belt system and within these belts
they will earn degrees (4 degrees per belt). The belt system allows
your child to set long-term goals (becoming a black belt) and short-term
goals, such as being able to execute a new technique they learned
in class, or achieving their next degree or belt.
Best Self Defense
for Children of all Ages
Jiu Jitsu teaches children to think instead of
panic in potentially serious situations as well as how to react
to threats from other kids. Your child will also be taught not
to be a bully. For life- threatening situations only, your child
will learn practical self defense. They learn how to think fast
on their feet, to improvise and avoid trouble whenever possible.
The skills your child will learn in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu will empower
and protect them for the rest of their lives.
Early exposure to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is truly a great gift to
your child.
