Why should kids pick up Jiu Jitsu? 🤔
There are multiple benefits as to why kids in this day and age should pick up Jiu Jitsu and today, we’ll be discussing on the top 3 reasons!
1. Developing motor skills 🏃
Jiujitsu is a martial art that activates multiple muscle groups with a variety of large and minor movements. In order to execute the techniques taught in Jiujitsu, the children would be required to continuously train on them hence developing their skillset and their motor skills (i.e. having a good understanding of base and balance). These skills are then spilled over into other sports as well as everyday activities in their lives.
2. Discipline and Focus 💭
In a world full of stimulation, kids are highly affected by the high stimuli around them, causing them to be easily distracted by everything around them. However, by learning Jiujitsu, not only is it fun and engaging for kids, but also helps them improve their discipline and focus as the kids will be enjoying themselves and are more inclined to learn the details of the techniques being taught in order to execute them well.
3. Confidence and Bully-proofing 💪
Martial arts have been proven to build confidence in kids, but in Jiujitsu, it helps them more so as they are always using what they learn everyday with their training partners. By providing a safe and conducive training environment, the kids will be able to learn the techniques and use them during specific training situations whereby their opponents will not be co-operating. By doing so, it translates into real life situations if and so whenever they need to use their skills. Bullying is a rising concern in schools and in parents. However, by having more confidence, kids doing Jiujitsu would be a less likely target as bullies would want to target kids with low confidence. Hence, by learning Jiujitsu, kids will build confidence and that is the #1 bully deterrent.
