Why Jiu Jitsu for Kids?

Jiu Jitsu for Kids at Gracie Elite BJJ Dural

Jiu Jitsu is more than just a martial art, it’s a journey that helps kids develop crucial life skills such as confidence, discipline, and problem-solving. It’s an exciting and rewarding way for children to stay active, build self-esteem, and learn valuable lessons that last a lifetime.

What Can Your Child Expect in Their Trial Class?

  • Basic Techniques: Foundational movements such as positioning, control, and balance.
  • Self-Defense: Simple and effective self-defense techniques to help their confidence.
  • Teamwork & Respect: Jiu Jitsu emphasizes working with partners and learning in a respectful, cooperative environment.
  • Fun & Engagement: Our classes are designed to keep kids engaged and excited.

It’s important for children to have input or decision making in their activities, but as parents, we know how crucial it is to guide them toward opportunities that foster growth. Time is our most precious commodity, and it slips away faster than we realize. As parents, we have a unique window of opportunity to make decisions that can positively shape our children’s futures. When children are young, they are more receptive to our guidance and more open to learning new skills. As they grow older, their interests and schedules become more complex, making it harder to seize such opportunities.

There was a study published via PubMed, The study was conducted over the course of 5 months, with 113 participants who participated and practiced Jiu Jitsu, the results showed those who trained in Jiu Jitsu had displayed increased self-control and pro-social behaviour vs those that didn’t train. Also the Jiu jitsu practitioners had a decline in aggressiveness vs those who trained other activities such as MMA or didn’t train at all.

We know how busy life can be, and that’s why we offer a variety of class times throughout the week Monday to Saturday, to fit into your schedule. Whether you’re juggling work, school, or other activities, our goal is to make it easy for your child to participate and benefit from Jiu Jitsu training.
