At Sampa BJJ we like to see jiu-jitsu as a lifestyle, we train jiu-jitsu because it is good for our body and for our mind, we will achieve confidence, self-respect, and many more other benefits.
Budo means "martial way" and refers to those martial disciplines whose ultimate goal is spiritual, ethical, and/or moral self-improvement. That been said, competition is just one way to live the martial arts of jiu-jitsu.
Competition is not the only meaning of BJJ.
It is a fact that many schools are solely focused on the competition, it is not bad but also it is not the complete experience of the art of jiu-jitsu.
Here at Sampa Jiu-Jitsu, we recommend all the students to complete a few times per year, for those who decide to become competitors and get serious about it we even recommend them to quit their job and dedicate solely to the sport. Many people can’t quit their jobs but they can still enjoy the Martial art journey.
We understand that competitions can be annoying for the parents and also overwhelming for the kids at the early stages.
That is why at Sampa BJJ, we offer our in-house competitions and festivals, a great way to educate the kids about the rules, how to behave in competition, warm-up, as well teaching the parents how to behave properly. A great way to train for the actual competition in a safe and controlled environment.
Register yourself or your child for our next competition and do not miss the chance to learn!
Do not focus solely on results, do not force your child to compete, avoid early specialization (let your child play other things), Not everyone will get a scholarship, not everyone will be an Olympian, let your child have fun, interfere less, and know that 70% of the kids in the USA quit any organized sports by the age of 13, just because parents push too much towards results.
Thank you
Sampa Staff
