The Benefits of Jiu Jitsu for Children!

 

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is one of the oldest martial arts in existence, and it has a long history of providing physical, mental, and emotional benefits to practitioners. In recent years, jiu jitsu schools have become increasingly popular among kids due to its effectiveness with self-defense technique and its ability to help develop neural pathways, grey matter, and ambidexterity in arms and legs. It’s also an excellent way to build reliance that can carry over into other sports. As former President Theodore Roosevelt said, “The art of jiu jitsu is worth more in every way than all of our athletics combined.”

One of the biggest reasons why jiu jitsu is so beneficial for kids is its ability to provide a safe environment for them to practice self-defense techniques in teal life speed while learning discipline and respect. It’s one of if not clearly the best best martial arts to teach kids how to handle bully situations — not just physically but also mentally. Its emphasis on technique over strength makes it easier for smaller children to defend themselves against bigger opponents.

Jiu Jitsu can also help kids develop neural pathways and grey matter in the same way that music or math does. It encourages creativity through problem-solving exercises and helps build ambidexterity in both arms and legs by teaching them how to move their limbs independently from each other. And since most moves are done with your own body weight rather than using props like punching bags or weights, it’s quite low impact — perfect for young bones!

 Why It’s Important for Your Child’s Development?

​

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a form of martial art that has been gaining in popularity in recent years due to the increasing global interest in mixed martial arts competition. It provides a great way for kids to stay active, build confidence, and learn self-defense skills. If you are considering enrolling your child in Jiu Jitsu classes, here are some of the important benefits that it can offer.

Jiu Jitsu develops coordination and motor skills. In order to be successful at Jiu Jitsu, your child will need to utilize both their gross and fine motor skills. This type of coordination is important for overall development and can help improve your child’s performance in other sports as well.

​

Jiu Jitsu helps kids develop social skills. One of the best things about Jiu Jitsu is that it teaches kids how to interact with others in a positive way. They will learn how to work together as a team, share, take turns, and cooperate with others—all important social skills that will help them both in and out of the classroom.

Building Self Confidence –

​

Learning a martial art can help a child build self confidence by giving them tangible evidence that they can accomplish difficult tasks. When they successfully complete techniques or training exercises they have been practicing, they feel proud of their accomplishments and this builds up their confidence in their own abilities. In addition to developing coordination and social skills, Jiu Jitsu also helps kids feel good about themselves. They will learn how to set goals and achieve them, as well as overcome obstacles—both physical and mental—that stand in their way. As they see what they are capable of achieving through hard work and dedication, their self-esteem and confidence will soar.

Learning Self Defense Skills –

​

The techniques taught in our Westminster Brazilian Jiu Jitsu 303 Training Center can help prepare kids and entire families for any potential dangerous situation by giving them the abilities to protect themselves physically. Additionally, learning self defense also instills values such as respect and responsibility which can be beneficial when facing real-life situations outside the dojo walls.

This is important because it gives them an understanding of how to protect themselves in dangerous situations and use their body weight or their adversaries strength against them to gain an advantage and subdue the threat.

​

Self Confidence & Self Discipline -

Kids who practice Brazilian Jiu Jitsu also experience improved self-confidence and self-respect along with respect for others. BJJ classes are typically structured with an emphasis on discipline, respect, and perseverance.

Additionally, they develop strong problem solving skills as they have to think through different scenarios and solve problems quickly in order for their techniques to be effective in a real life situation.

​

​

 

Physical Fitness & Mental Health-

​

Our BJJ courses are taught by experienced professionals that will help your child improve physical fitness levels and mental health.

Additionally, since most classes involve sparring or “rolling” as it’s called in the martial arts world – this provides an outlet for children to release excess energy in a safe environment while still having fun! Finally, participating in regular BJJ classes can help reduce stress levels as well as boost positive mental health by providing an engaging activity for both the mind and body!

Our Jiu Jitsu classes here in Westminster Co, at the 303 Training Center provides a great environment for physical exercise, as well as helping your child develop mental fortitude. The physical aspect of the course can help improve your child’s strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular health. Additionally, the training needed to practice perfect technique helps your child focus on goals and encourages them to stay on track while they work toward achieving those goals.
