Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) isn’t just for adults. It’s the perfect activity for kids! This form of martial arts is based on automatic human responses and incorporates a lot of ground grappling. When it comes to self-defense, BJJ empowers a smaller individual to fight against a larger opponent. But the advantages don’t stop there – BJJ helps kids gain confidence, learn discipline, focus their energy, foster respect for others, and be a part of a one-of-a-kind community full of future friends and mentors!

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) has gained a lot of attention in recent years, and it’s pretty obvious why. BJJ stands apart from other martial arts due to its focus on grappling, rather than the kicking and punching that characterize disciplines such as Karate and Taekwondo. BJJ is known to improve fitness levels, prepare its practitioners for situations requiring self-defense, and relieve stress.

What is judo?

Judo, derived from the Japanese term “gentle way,” is a modern Japanese martial art and Olympic sport, established in the late nineteenth century. Current judo rules focus on upper body takedowns and throws executed while wearing a gi. What sets judo apart from other grappling styles is its emphasis on amplitude, aiming to land the opponent on their back as well as a foundational pedagogy created by the founder of judo himself, Jigoro Kano.
