Kids Jiu Jitsu

Overview

Our Kids Program introduces your child to the art of jiu jitsu. It is often called “The Gentle Art” because it does not meet force with force. Instead, it values using skill over strength. Because of this philosophy, our goal is to help your child develop:

• Balance and coordination
• Self-confidence
• Friendship with peers
• Self-control and self-discipline
• Humility and respect for others

How do we do this? FUN! It is SO important that your child has fun so that they want to train and learn the life-changing self-confidence that jiu jitsu brings. That’s why we use a mix of technique training, drills, and games. Our curriculum includes traditional methods of instruction, including fundamental techniques, tying your belt properly, bowing to the instructor, and standing in order of rank. All kids will bow in together at the beginning of class, but the Cubs and Lions will break into different groups on separate mats where we will teach techniques tailored to the group’s age, skill, and maturity level.

Improves Self-Confidence

We get it, being a kid isn’t always easy! Between homework, trying to make friends, and school bullies, there’s a lot to deal with. At Bueno Jiu Jitsu, we want to be a place of escape from all of those struggles. While the rest of the world may take a toll on your child’s confidence, we’re here to build it up. After watching hundreds of young martial artists go through our program, we have no doubt that practicing BJJ improves students’ confidence in a way that no other activity can. BJJ pushes students out of their comfort zones – helping them acquire new skills, teaching them how to defend themselves and avoid conflict, and providing them with much-needed support and guidance. Students enter our Kids BJJ program as shy and insecure children and leave as outgoing and self-assured martial artists.

Instills Focus

A huge part of what makes BJJ so great is that it doesn’t just strengthen the body, it strengthens the mind as well. Many parents worry that Jiu Jitsu won’t be the right fit for their child because he or she has a lot of energy. But this couldn’t be further from the truth! At Bueno Jiu Jitsu, we want our students to be energetic and excited when they come to class – our goal is simply to focus that energy. After a long day sitting at a desk, kids need a place to let loose. Our BJJ curriculum aims to take all that pent-up energy and direct it into throws, blows, and a wide variety of fun activities.
