Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Kids Classes
Additional Information
Our kids program is designed to help kids build a strong foundation for basic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu working extensively on overviewing the positions and situations in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. St. Petersburg - FL
We also focus on bully-proofing children. Kids will be taught how to defend themselves using both verbal and real life jiu jitsu techniques. Jiu Jitsu is an effective tool to help kids overcome bullies using leverage and control, instead of kicking or punching.
This program will help kids build confidence, learn self-discipline, develop respect for the instructors and peers and improve coordination, agility, and focus.
In addition to self-defense techniques, our Kids programs will focus and reinforce important life skills:
- Developing listening, obedience and focusing skills;
- Improving social skills;
- Improving self-control, respect and discipline;
- Increasing physical attributes such as hand-eye coordination, strength, agility and flexibility.
What makes Gracie Jiu-Jitsu so effective for kids is the fact that instead of learning moves through katas or prearranged set of movements carried out on a cooperative training partner, they will learn how to apply grappling techniques on a resisting training partner who’s not cooperating and is counteracting with his own moves, much like as what you’d see on the streets.
