Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is often referred to as “the game of human chess.”  It is a martial art based on defensive ground fighting, grappling and submission holds.  This “gentle art” allows a small or weak person to defend themselves against a larger and stronger opponent.

Why is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at Golden Home Fitness great for kids?

The discipline kids learn with our instructors carries over into all aspects of their lives.  BJJ teaches them respect, self-control and perseverance. It improves their physical fitness as well as their ability to defend themselves.  BJJ also gives them a lot of confidence.  The mental, physical and emotional fortitude children gain in our classes ensures they will not fall prey to bullies.

Kids learn the value of rules.  Three taps tells their opponent to stop.  It is an admission that the other person is better this time.  Children become aware of their limitations as well as their strengths.  They need to put their egos aside so that they don’t get hurt.  Having to tap out makes them strive to get better.  Winning makes them strive to get even better.
