The amazing success of our kids classes

Our Jr. Grapplers and Little Champs classes are really thriving.  The kids are learning great self defense skills both physically and verbally.  Jiu Jitsu brings discipline, coordination, order, and growth through understanding of energy efficiency and concepts like “mutual benefit”(how to grow as a group).  More recently we have started to play games like KeepitReal and KeepitPlayful with them.  It’s where they get a chance to apply their techniques with effort, or they can be playful and allow more of an open style where both partners can practice offense and defense.  It introduces the concept of win or learn.  Win or Learn is a huge concept because it teaches us to get the most out of a temporary setback.  It teaches them to learn from the situations when their partner is able to perform a move.  It’s been a great pleasure and honour to see these kids grow up to become balanced, confident people.  More to come!  Some of these kids practice circus, soccer, hockey, ballet etc, and some are non athletes.  The common thread is personal development and it’s amazing to see them come together through Jiu Jitsu.  Congratulations kids!
