Self-Defense

A self-defense class using techniques from Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) can be an excellent way for kids to learn practical self-defense skills while also promoting confidence and discipline.

In a typical class, students will learn basic techniques such as takedowns, submissions, and escapes, and then practice them with a partner under the guidance of a skilled instructor. The focus is on developing muscle memory and building confidence so that students can react quickly and effectively in a real-life self-defense scenario.

One of the great things about BJJ is that it is a non-violent form of self-defense that relies on leverage and technique rather than brute strength. This makes it accessible to kids of all sizes and abilities and can help to promote a sense of empowerment and confidence.

By taking part in a BJJ self-defense program, high school kids can also benefit from the physical and mental health benefits of martial arts training. Regular practice can improve strength, flexibility, and cardio fitness, while also reducing stress and anxiety.

Overall, a self-defense class using BJJ techniques can be a fun, engaging, and practical way for kids to learn valuable skills and build confidence while promoting discipline and mental focus.
