WHY TO ENROLL YOUR KID AT BJJ RIGHT NOW?
Discipline
Children learn discipline in BJJ. Having the structure, respect, and discipline that BJJ provides can be transferred into many other aspects of life. They learn the following things:
- Dedication: coming to class every time
- Attention: being quiet when the instructor is talking
- Respect: being humble around upper belts and the instructor.
These things change the person who’s learning them. Children who are normally a bit rowdy can become calm and focused (which is always a great attribute).
Problem Solving Skills
Children who are placed into Brazilian Jiu Jitsu learn vital problem solving skills. Every time anyone trains they are always faced with new problems and situations that must be tackled. This is a great way to sharpen young developing minds.
Think of the times you were put into a new position. You had to follow the instructions to complete the move, then have the move completed on you. You had to connect this move to your current understanding. In order to use new moves, you need to connect them to things you already know. This type of learning is very important for young children.
