Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is an excellent way to help kids develop important life skills. The self-discipline, focus, self-respect, empathy, and courtesy for others that are required to excel in Jiu-Jitsu are the same qualities that are needed for success in life. During weekly classes, children are able to gain physical and intellectual skills, while also interacting with peers. Additionally, they learn how to lose and win with dignity and respect for one another. These diverse experiences give them the chance to learn valuable lessons in a safe and positive environment.
