| How can BJJ help children face the challenges in life? All parents hope their child gets physically and psychologically ready to deal with the challenges of life. They face challenges that can be discouraging, from bullies to academics that can influence their entire life. Children must learn how the defend themselves having the right tools. What can be done to help them? Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is vital for the integrity of a child. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can help the child to build great self confidence when he/she realizes that no bully can intimidate them, and also there is the development of motor skills, body coordination, and mental discipline. Additionally, the child is engaged with his/her peers in a positive atmosphere of social interaction, essential skill for all aspects of life. In my school I incorporated specific exercises to remove all kinds of fears and insecurities, and activities to develop teamwork and social interaction. It is our responsibility to teach children and help them become better human beings. With the enormous challenges children face today, I feel it's essential for them to face life equipped with the physical, psychological, and emotional power that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can offer them. Why Kids should learn BJJ? There are many different Martial Arts out there, and it can be hard to really understand the differences between styles when you are trying to choose what would be best for your child. Here are several reasons why Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is the safest and most appropriate form for children to begin their journey into the world of Martial Arts: 1 . It is a non-violent yet effective and complete self-defense system. Many parents want their child to learn a martial art in order to defend herself/himself against bullies or unwanted strangers. Having a safe and foundational system of self-defense is key to children feeling confident about defending themselves if needed. There is no kicking or punching involved, unlike many other martial arts. Those striking techniques demand a level of maturity that many children have not yet developed. 2 . It is a natural martial art, based in leverage and balance. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu uses the principles of action - reaction, leverage, and base. Children learn to use an opponent's power as an advantage, rather than fighting against the force. Children develop a heightened sense of body awareness and coordination, which leads to self-confidence and inner discipline. Not only do children learn how to effectively defend themselves, but also strengthen their kinesthetic abilities to excel in any other sport of which they participate.
