Did you know that Children’s Martial Arts are 10 times better than Team Sports in developing a child’s self esteem and confidence? Starting your child in a Martial Arts program can be the best thing you do for your child, but not all Martial Arts schools are created equally. There are many different things to consider, and it is very important to make an educated decision when picking a school.

What style Martial Art will be best for your child to learn? It is important to choose a style that will arm your child with a host of positive mental and physical skills that will help him or her at school, at home and in life. With the bullieing problem in this country, many parents are looking for their children to have the confidence and self defense skills to stand up to bullies. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is the number one form of self defense. It uses leverage and technique to overcome a bigger and stronger opponent.

Martial Arts will condition your child’s response to various forms of aggression. Traditional Martial Arts such as Karate, Tae Kwon Do, and Kung Fu  predominantly involve kicking and striking techniques. This means you will be conditioning your child’s response to strike another child. Wouldn’t it be great to teach our children that they can defend themselves without hurting someone? Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a Grappling Art that will teach your child how to defend themselves without striking another child. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a complete training system that will teach you how to apply angles, positioning and leverage to control an opponent’s movement. A person that has a superior position is in a better situation to apply their weight and end the conflict effectively. This style allows a smaller person to immobilize and defeat a stronger larger attacker.
